I specialize in working with religious leaders and understand the unique challenges posed by creating a community for others and running an organization. I also specialize in working with adults who've been newly diagnosed as Autistic, ADHD, or neurodiverse in other ways. Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) is an autistic profile gaining recognition in the US. I work with the caregivers/parents and spouses of PDAers to provide support and understanding, working from a low-demand approach. My goal is to help you embrace your situation and build resilience from within.
I work with couples, adults and teens. I specialize in religious leaders/clergy, and neurodiverse individuals and marriages where one or both spouses identify as neurodiverse. My hope is to help you better understand who you are and to help you acknowledge your worth.
I invite you to contact me for a free phone-consultation. Together we will determine if I am the right fit for you. I am currently offering Telehealth exclusively.
