Handling day to day life with anxiety, Autism, or ADHD takes a ton of energy - finding a therapist with experience with severe or long-term mental illness can be equally exhausting. As a clinical psychologist, I have the training and experience necessary to help life seem a little less overwhelming. My clients often find that they have visited many therapists, but never seem to feel understood or make progress. This is even more difficult for neurodivergent clients (or those who wonder if they have Autism or ADHD), as it's difficult to get a clear diagnosis. This leads to a long-term, frustrating cycle of trying to find a good fit.
I am here to focus on what YOU want out of life (your values and goals), what's keeping you from the life you want, and science-backed ways to move closer to what's important to you. I have lived experience with neurodivergence and anxiety, and would love to learn about your experience! Let's explore what hasn't worked before, and figure out what will.
Are you ready to break free from your struggles and live the life you want, even when it's a little scary? I offer assessment and therapy, online or in person. I am PsyPact certified in 40+ states. Contact me by e-mail, text, or phone. We'll find a way to make therapy work for you, no matter how complicated life gets. I can't wait to see how I can help!
