About
Are things out of balance? Tired of the ways things are? Want change? Taking care of mental wellness is like maintaining a vehicle. Anxiety, depression, relationship trouble and anger may mean it's time for a tune-up. To have a life that runs with less breakdowns requires regular tune-ups and maintenance. You, and your relationships, have needs, just like an engine. I work collaboratively with you to help build a toolbox that you can use to help you through moments where there is struggle, difficulty and pain. I tailor sessions to build a personalized toolbox take your life in the direction that matters most to you.
I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Brainspotting. I specialize in working with all genders of neurodivergence (ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia). I have training specific to men's issues. I navigate relationship/marriage issues including blended families, cross-cultural relationships, sexual dysfunction and consensual non-monogamy.
Living in remote and rural regions has unique challenges. I am part of neurodiverse family. I have ADHD and children with both ADHD and Autism. I am familiar with the struggles of having a differently wired brain and this gives me insight to help you on your journey. Neurodivergence includes ADHD, Tourettes, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, and others.
