I believe that we are only able to make changes once we’ve learned to meet ourselves wherever we might be at–and I want to help you build the tools so you can meet you! I provide neurodivergent-affirming care to people with ADHD and Autism. That means that I want to help you work with your brain, rather than fighting against it–which is an exhausting struggle! We can talk about any number of issues that may also be impacting you: anxiety, depression, traumatic experiences, disordered eating, substance use. My goal is to help you figure out what’s important to you and help you move towards those things you value.
I use an eclectic approach that draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, somatic experiencing, and dialectic behavior skills. I will hold a compassionate and non-judgmental space while we collaborate to determine what will best serve you. We can build coping skills and strategies that help you work with your brain, not against it!
I know that starting therapy can be scary, and I also believe we can do scary things! If you'd like to work towards doing other important and scary things together, please use the contact info on my profile to get started!
