Overwhelmed, sensitive, socially anxious, creative, kind, generous, stressed, tired, hurt, lonely, thoughtful, observant, resourceful, open-minded, helpful, insightful, empathetic and adaptive. That list describes common challenges and strengths of the clients I work best with. Adults and teens with ADHD, other neurodiverse symptoms, and individuals who have experienced past or current trauma. These clients are often seeking strategies to reduce emotional distress, improve self-understanding, improve self-compassion, strengthen relationships with loved ones, and move towards change in alignment with their personal values.
If you have ADHD, OCD, or are a creative or sensitive individual and are seeking therapy for trauma, general anxiety, social anxiety, life transitions or self-esteem issues I may be a good fit. I am trained in multiple types of helpful clinical techniques including EMDR, Brainspotting, CBT, ACT, ERP, CPT, TFCBT, and mindfulness skills.
ADHD, anxiety, trauma and sensory issues often involve overwhelm, loneliness, feeling misunderstood, and worried about the future . A lot of things can feel better and change as you increase self-understanding, self-compassion, and work through painful past experiences. Small steps in the direction of your values with support is often the best approach.
