If you have ADHD, your brain is wired differently than the majority of the population. This is beautiful, and it also brings a multitude of challenges.

Together we will experiment with strategies that work with your brain, not against it. No ADHD brain works exactly the same, and I approach each session with this in mind.

People with ADHD often have internalized shame from living in an ableist culture, and we will make plenty of space to explore that as well.

Whether you have an official diagnosis of Autism or are curious about some Autistic traits and tendencies, we will work together to highlight the strengths and challenges of this nervous system disability.

I have spent many years learning from both the lived experience of people in the Autistic community and the most recent research on the topic. I consider myself a lifelong learner on how to properly support Autistic people, and regularly share new resources I find with my clients.

My Autistic clients often benefit from me as an affirming provider as I don’t try to change them to fit their surroundings; rather, we find ways to better support their needs so they can live the life they want.

People with Autism, or Autistic people, often have internalized shame from living in an ableist culture, and we will make plenty of space to explore that as well.

Anxiety can stem from a variety of places. Whether you have experienced anxiety your whole life or this is a new feeling for you, exploring the origins and trajectory of anxiety can be important in the process of symptom reduction.

I will teach you effective coping strategies and help you identify helpful or unhelpful beliefs that exacerbate your anxiety symptoms. In some cases, it is necessary to make adjustments to your social or cultural landscape and we can explore those together as well.

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is currently considered the gold standard for OCD treatment. I am trained in this modality and use it often with OCD clients.

I value holistic OCD treatment, meaning that we will often not be doing exclusively ERP during your treatment. Addressing distress tolerance, sensory concerns, and social or cultural factors can be an important part of overall OCD treatment.

Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), or Pervasive Drive for Autonomy, is a nervous system disability wherein individuals demonstrate significant anxiety responses to demands from both others and themselves. I have sought specialized training and education from those with lived experience of PDA, and can provide specialized therapy techniques that may be more helpful to people whose nervous systems have a shutdown response to the typical demands of life and therapy.

If you are a perfectionist or chronic high achiever, I am not here to say that is inherently a bad thing. However, most people find this unsustainable at some point in their lives and adjustments need to be made.

I have helped many perfectionists and high achievers reduce their stress while maintaining high levels of success and achievement. Balance is possible!

The perinatal period (pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, postpartum) brings high highs and low lows for many parents. If this season of life hasn’t been what you hoped or imagined, you are not alone and you deserve help.

Supporting the optimal development of a child is rewarding and exhausting. Particularly in the modern world, we are inundated with advice and often feel so tired sifting through all of it that we freeze and don’t do any of it.

I can provide specialized parenting support to help you sort through all the noise and parent in a way that aligns with your values and family’s needs.

I am particularly passionate about supporting families with neurodivergent kiddos. Often, but not always, at least one of the parents is neurodivergent and benefits from having a therapist who truly understands the difficulty of meeting another person’s immense needs while also trying to take care of yourself.

I have a background in play therapy, and read constantly on the latest child development research for fun. I bring my experience and knowledge into each parent support session to equip you with the tools you need to be the parent you want to be.

Every single person I work with has experienced grief in some form. We grieve when we lose something we have, or anticipated having, that means something to us.

Grief is complex and there is no specific timeline. You deserve support while you navigate the complexities of your grief experience.

Understanding what has happened to you, and what you carry with you from that experience(s), makes a huge difference on how you move forward in life. A crucial element of trauma therapy is working with a therapist who can help you identify a safe pace at which to process what has happened. Experiencing trauma, especially in cases where there are multiple occurrences or chronic exposure, leaves us feeling hopeless, isolated, and stuck. You don’t have to feel that way forever and there are ways out.
