Hello! My name is Evan. In my various roles as husband, father, and later-in-life diagnosed "ADHD'er", I understand the difficulties we all encounter in our lives and most intimate circle. I enjoy engaging with adults (18+) who seek change and are motivated to explore their ADHD-type brain. Another passion of mine is work with couples. I am a certified EFT couples therapist, and of course also offer ADHD-informed couples therapy. For individual work, I welcome clients who are formally or self diagnosed! I also welcome all forms of neurodiverse and neurotypical couples, in all their combinations(!), who seek connection and change.

Welcome! My name is Jennifer and I am a reformed intellectualizer who now helps individuals and couples through body-based psychotherapy. Many of my clients feel disconnected from their bodies, whether this be because of pain (chronic or sexual), burnout, trauma, or emotional numbing. It can be impossible to feel sometimes. While our bodies are smart and have adapted to our environments, there is also a way to reconnect and heal.

All of us are walking around with some kind of pain, big and small, whether we know it or not. We are all doing our best with what we have, and sometimes it can feel like our best isn’t enough. As your therapist, I am happy to work with you to adapt and grow with your trauma, develop coping skills, and help reroute any that may no longer be serving you, as well as building up your feelings of safety, validation, compassion, and care. I work with clients 16+ who are adapting to live with their trauma, experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, or who want to strengthen their sense of self and self-confidence.

I believe therapy shouldn't feel like something being 'done' to you. Instead, I see it as an opportunity to build a relationship based on authenticity and genuine trust. In our work together, we will focus on uncovering and fostering the strengths, skills and values that you feel best represent and support you to be the person you are most proud to become. Whether you’re experiencing challenges related to anxiety, depression, grief, stress, burnout or more, my practice is built on a foundation of curiosity with a goal of identifying the ways you would like to become and already are the true owner of your story.

When we feel understood, validated, and supported…we heal. This is what psychotherapy is intended to do. My style is gentle and compassionate, and building trusting relationships is one of my strengths. I am an encourager by nature, so can help you identify & build on what you already do well. I am also sensitive by nature and there’s a good chance you are as well (it’s a genetic trait called "Highly Sensitive Person" that shows up in about 20% of the population & about 50% of therapy clients).

Ma théorie du changement repose sur la conviction que la guérison personnelle ou relationnelle émerge grâce à la prise de conscience des mécanismes inconscients. Leur existence nous s’esquive, mais ils peuvent influer sur notre fonctionnement global et nos relations interpersonnelles. Le travail se concentre sur vous en tant que client. Je m'efforce de créer un environnement sain, sécurisé et accueillant pour que vous puissiez exprimer librement vos pensées, vos craintes, vos peurs et vos désirs, dans une atmosphère d'écoute empathique et sans jugement.

I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, stress/burnout, confidence issues, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, 2SLGBTQ+ communities, and take a special focus in working alongside neurodivergent individuals and borderline personality disorder. I work from the position and understanding that life can be painful but we do not need to suffer. I view adversity as existing on a continuum, where pain is an unavoidable part of the human experience within the context of a persons life. Where healing takes time, and patience but it is worth the struggle, and effort to make the journey there for ourselves.

I work with children, teens, and adults who are experiencing low motivation for work or school. Often clients are struggling with anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, suicidality, bullying, screen addiction, and grief. Often my clients question if they have ADHD, AUDHD, ASD, or other learning disabilities and they want to understand how their brains work. I can help you to learn personalized strategies to face difficult challenges and cope better with emotional pain, discomfort, and self-doubt. Together we can work on ways for you to manage transitions in your life and find your inner resilience.
