Accepting new clients! - Hi, I'm Mak! I have a special interest in adults (18+) who have been negatively impacted by the systems and environments that surround them. I believe that our early life experiences, especially those learned during childhood, often shape our patterns and behaviors more than we realize. This can look like anxiety, depression, self esteem issues, attachment issues, difficulties within relationships, etc. By recognizing and understanding our recurring themes, we can improve our relationships with ourselves and those close to us.

Current appt. availability on my website. People come to me because they are struggling and feel stuck. I specialize in working with adults and children/families who are challenged by anxiety, ADHD, or "Asperger's" but have experience with many different issues. My approach involves providing info about how the brain works, how to use it as your ally instead of an enemy, and how to find strength in the very things that challenge you. (ex: There are so many wonderful things about having ADHD!) I do this in the context of interpersonal relationships where we talk about things like identity and communication/conflict resolution skills.

An ideal client would present with their struggle in transparency, with the desire to grow, and put in the work to achieve goals. That could be managing emotions, holding a job, rebuilding relationships, or perhaps implementing more self-care. A client who wants to heal, find peace, and promote balance and autonomy. I am very easygoing, and really like to showcase my ability to promote a safe trusting environment. It is okay to feel uncomfortable or overwhelmed in life; I hope to encourage and normalize the need to take care of ourselves.
