You’re probably here because you’re feeling overwhelmed or chaotic. You make lists and then lose track of them. You set alarms and then forget what they’re for. You overcommit and now are forced to either spread yourself too thin or tell several people you can’t follow through. It’s hard to see others succeed using conventional wisdom like, ”use a planner” while you continue to struggle. The key to creating a routine and balanced life is to understand how your neurodivergent brain works, learn to ride your waves, and use strategies that make the most sense for you - even if that means not following the conventional wisdom.

Many of our experiences have come from a place of great suffering and fear. Often, this entails having survived harsh challenges and as a result, pieces of our personal stories may be missing, either because they are forgotten or too painful to talk about. Restoring one's personal history can prove to be invaluable in healing pain. It can our connect past, future and the present, forming continuity and reviving hope. My desire as a therapist is to provide assistance and encouragement for every one of my clients in exploring these personal stories as a way of coping with pain and finding meaning.

Chances are, you’re looking for a therapist because you're needing support, wanting solutions, or have been feeling stuck and want to give it a go. Maybe your mind doesn’t always feel like a safe place to be, or your physical body is starting to feel some of the effects of your mental health struggles. Maybe you’re having a hard time understanding your own inner experiences, and whenever you tune in, it’s too overwhelming to manage. I want to let you know, I’ve been there. The human experience can be difficult, and there’s absolutely no shame in seeking help to get through certain periods of life.

I work with a wide range of patients with a primary focus on creating a space to allow for the work to start to acknowledge, engage and integrate different parts of themselves - leading in time to a more fulfilling and informed life. This is difficult, often painful work. In a way, you come in to this to have to fail, to let go of who you think you should be (past and present) and find ways to see where you are rather than where you are not.

Family in crisis? Everyone in the family is impacted by the stressful environment when children refuse to follow directions and develop behaviors such as verbal aggression (disrespectful communication, degrading comments, verbally threaten others), emotional outbursts (yelling, temper tantrums), physical aggression toward self (i.e., cutting and/or burning self) or others (pushing and/or hitting others, destroying property), suicidal ideation (threat to self) and/or homicidal ideation (threat to others), and/or running away (AWOL). As a result of feelings of sadness and anger, children and parents often engage in power struggles.
