Back to school can mean increased stress, especially for atypical learners. I work best with individuals that are having difficulty fitting into settings such as school, extracurricular activities, and/or even at home. I have had success working with children and young adults that have not been successful during past experiences with therapy, or are reluctant to participate. Our practice specializes in working with atypical development so I have experience working with clients that have been diagnosed with ADHD, dyslexia, and Autism as well as those that have been identified as being gifted.

The day starts and self-doubt kicks in. Finding the energy to do what you need for others and yourself feels impossible. You're juggling so many roles as spouse, parent, child, business owner, friend, you name it and somehow have lost sight of yourself in the constant pressures of daily life. This leaves you riddled at times with anxiety, sadness, unpredicted tears- ultimately feeling depleted and angry that this cycle doesn't end. Then the secret thoughts begin: "Maybe I'm not good enough or worthy? I have no control. I should have known better. I've failed again..." Communicating these feelings is hard, leaving you stuck.

With each interaction I find that striking a balance between a safe therapeutic space and appropriate challenges leads to the most holistic healing and deeper insights. I believe in a top-down and bottom-up approach when it comes to therapy. I hope to encourage a client to take responsibility over their own life while recognizing and validating the larger systems and realities that impact them. The ultimate goal is to translate growth within the therapy room to a client’s actual day-to-day life. Overall, I hope to empower clients to uncover new healthier ways of being for themselves.
