Telehealth sessions only. I currently have two openings. I specialize in working with people with disabilities, of all ages, to create the life you want. I understand the frustration of living with a significant difference such as a disability can have on your life and that feeling of being held back. I also understand a disability can impact the whole family and see family members, if desired. This is how I look at disability – in most cases, it is with you for a very long time, if not for life, so why not still live the life YOU want?! A disability should not stand in the way of making them possible.
I have extensive work in brain injury. I have also worked with people without disabilities with various mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and bipolar. I have a special focus in dating, relationships, and sexuality for people with disabilities.
You want someone who will see you as you are and for all the potential within you. I understand that living with a disability can feel hard and be a struggle at times. I believe you really want someone to listen, provide guidance, and guide you to the answers that are within you.
