"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you might miss it" --Ferris Bueller. If you are looking for strategies to both slow down and move forward, you will find benefit in our sessions. I am a former software programmer and have helped many from the tech industry navigate mental health issues related to their work. Many of the people I work with are seeking relief from social anxiety, management of depressive symptoms and a better work/life balance. Each phase of life presents heightened developmental tasks, need sensitivities, crises, and opportunities for new learning. The Path Begins Here.
In addition to traditional talk therapy, I utilize the techniques of DBT, CBT and ACT to help you build the skills you need to reach your authentic self and in many cases your optimum potential as well. I have over 20 years experience with these populations: Autism, Aspergers, ADHD and the Twice Exceptional.
I believe that no one understands your experience as well as you do. Real growth and positive change are most possible when a person feels safe and supported. I provide an honest, sincere, non-judgmental, personable and humor-friendly environment.
