I am passionate about working with adults (1:1 or with their partner) who struggle with concentration, money management, communicating effectively, and chronic worry. These are common experiences for many people but especially those doing life with ADHD and many forms of anxiety. Struggles with irritability, procrastination, motivation and organization often translate into low self-esteem, hopelessness and a fear of being viewed as lazy and irresponsible. Unmanaged ADHD and anxiety can wreak havoc on relationships. Of course, when we add a history of trauma to the mix, it can be even more overwhelming.
I firmly believe learning the ins and outs of your or your loved one’s diagnosis, developing coping strategies, and practicing vulnerability can take us from surviving to thriving. With each client, I work to chart a path forward using the science of contextual behavioral psychology, the art of playfulness, and the exploration of meaning and purpose.
My style is unique. I draw from Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems and Narrative Therapy. I use education and hands on activities to take clients where they want to go. I am committed to doing my due diligence to provide clients as many opportunities for growth as possible and work to honor all learning styles and personalities.
