I work with clients to gain greater self-awareness, learn new skills, and navigate this complex world in an authentic and resilient way. I enjoy supporting clients in finding new ways to increase their unique strengths and address challenges that hold them back from being present and engaged in creating a fulfilling life. My specialties include neurodivergence (ADHD, learning differences etc.), eco and political distress/anxiety or grief, those who work in research or tech fields, who are experiencing high levels of stress, and those navigating new landscapes and transitions in life. Please check out my website to learn more!
I often draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused, and Motivational Interviewing during sessions. I have personal experience and have taken additional training in supporting neurodiverse clients, as well as those who have experienced environmental disasters and eco/political distress.
I am committed to a collaborative, genuine, and supportive relationship and believe in the power of resilience and people's courage and tenacity during difficult times. Currently, my private practice is open Monday - Friday 8 am - 12 pm via telehealth. Sliding scale available $90 - $200.
