As someone who has experienced depression and anxiety since my teenage years, and a lifetime of dealing with ADHD, I have a unique perspective that comes from a place of solidarity.
I strive to help my clients fully realize their sense of self, how to continue working on the self, and how to maintain it. I work (past and currently) in person with an extremely diverse range of clients; all over the spectrums of gender, sexuality, neurodiversity, race, culture, ethnicity. Our society can be extremely difficult to navigate and has a tendency to be highly isolating. I approach every client with a deep sense of empathy, openness, and understanding, without presuming to know exactly what each individual goes through. This is why I strongly prefer meeting clients in person, where I can build trust with my clients.
