We all have challenges as well as strengths in our lives. I support my clients as they work through life challenges , and mental health diagnosis such as ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), depression, anxiety and relationship issues. I see teenagers and adults as well as couples in most cases virtually. In the context of a supportive relationship, I help clients deal with emotions that are causing distress and guide them in making meaningful life changes in their behaviors, thoughts and circumstances.
I specialize in ADHD and can help clients understand and accept the diagnosis as well as improving executive functioning and related anxiety or depression. I am trained in EMDR, trauma therapy, and am able to provide this remotely. I use Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy approaches and try to fit the approach to the client's needs.
It is important to find the right "fit" for you, and I offer a complimentary 15 min session to explore whether my approach and style are a match for your needs. I tend to be direct, give feedback readily and try to focus my interventions toward relatively short term results. Clients tell me they find me very "real" and report that they feel my sincere caring

The initial session we will explore together what you most want to change about yourself or your life , and determine how we can partner together to create that growth or change. I tend to be more direct than some therapists, because I want each session to provide a meaningful change of perspective, thinking or behavior. I use techniques from several approaches, including DBT & CBT or EMDR.

Adults with ADHD have a variety of challenges to productivity and interpersonal relationships. Past failures may have lead to low self esteem and shame. In this group you will learn more about ADHD, learn to accept your neurodiverse brain and all its wonder, and learn how small steps toward changing certain patterns can make a big difference. I have ADHD myself and have worked with ADHD clients for over 30 years, and trained with Ned Hallowell, MD. This group may answer some questions, provide support and give you some helpful tools.
