I work with individuals newly diagnosed with ADHD, helping them gain a deeper understanding of themselves. While ADHD can be challenging, I believe the core issue often lies in the lack of clear, accessible information designed to empower individuals to engage with the world effectively. This missing piece can hinder their ability to connect the dots for a more fulfilling and aligned life. If you are new to having ADHD, you might feel anxious about what this diagnosis means or sad about not receiving this information sooner. Life can be overwhelming without the right skills, strategies, and support. Common concerns I address
include persistent feelings of guilt, shame, and worthlessness, as well as rejection sensitivity, anxiety, and depression. I also help clients navigate challenges like procrastination, task initiation, time management, emotional dysregulation, and relationship issues such as building lasting connections, setting boundaries, and effective communication.
I use a neurodiversity-affirming approach that fosters exploration of your unique experiences without judgment. Together, we’ll work toward greater harmony and clarity in your life. You can book a free consultation call through my link to discuss the life you envision and I’ll address any questions about my approach and our potential work together.

I work with clients who might feel stuck or are struggling with identity issues. In our initial sessions, our focus will be on establishing a safe and supportive environment and collaborating on a plan for our work. Most of my clients notice an internal shift in how they view themselves and interact with the world.

My style is Anti-oppressive, trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming which means I don't pathologize my clients. I work from an integrative approach with therapies such as Narrative therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Neurodivergent-informed DBT, where we modify the environment rather than the individual. I offer in-depth sensory profile assessments.
