From an outsider’s perspective, you’ve got a great life. You’re accomplished & admired, dependable & driven. But on the inside, you never feel quite good enough and the voice in your head is quick to remind you of all the ways you’re falling short. You've spent the last however-many-years trying to keep it together, but it's exhausting and you don't think you can do it for much longer. You’re tired of giving so much to everyone else while you continue to come last on your list. But not anymore. It's time for a change.

I enjoy most working with adults who may have a disorder of executive functioning (e.g., ADHD), and Autism Spectrum Disorder. Many unknowingly have these conditions, which also have distinct strengths and offer gifts for others. Those affected can benefit from self-knowledge, education, and treatment. Understanding how to meet personal potential and developing new skills and strategies can make a huge difference. I have been evaluating performing pre-surgical psychological evaluations for two decades. I can accommodate people who need immediate evaluation, usually within a month or sooner.

You might be used to holding everything together on the outside while things feel heavy underneath. Maybe you have been dealing with addiction, anxiety, trauma, or patterns that keep repeating no matter how hard you try to change them. You want something different, but you are not looking for therapy that feels fake or surface-level. You want someone who actually understands without you having to explain everything.

I believe human growth, change, and healing is most easily found when we allow ourselves the chance to be uncomfortable. I am a Certified Accelerated Resolution Therapy Practitioner and have found it to be an incredible tool for increasing healing with life’s big and small difficulties.

Hi, I’m Imara!
After nearly a decade in the ABA world, I've seen firsthand how traditional therapy can miss the mark for neurodivergent people. Moving into this role, I prefer to think of myself as a partner in your growth, not the fixer of your "problems". I founded Self & Skill because I'm sick of seeing therapy force people into a mold built by society's expectations. My goal is the opposite: help you build the Skills to navigate a world not built for you while staying rooted in your authentic Self.
