Difficult relationships or past abuse can leave us feeling anxious, depressed, or unsure of ourselves. With ADHD, Autism, or AuDHD, things can feel even more complicated. Maybe you're fed up with feeling on-edge, stuck, or like your past is interfering with your life today. Maybe you feel guilty that you're not able to show up in your current relationships the way you'd like. Maybe you're tired of feeling overwhelmed or burnt out. But a few things are certain: you’re ready for things to change. You’re ready for some peace. And most of all: you’re ready to enjoy your relationships and your life.
Clients come to me looking for a therapist who can help them make sense of their past and present experiences, and achieve lasting change. Together we'll get curious and help you find peace so you can create the life you want to have. We'll also be mindful to go at a pace that feels safe and comfortable for you.
As an experienced trauma therapist, & someone with both professional & lived experience with neurodivergence, I believe that healing and transformation are possible. You don’t have to continue feeling anxious, depressed or stuck, and you don’t have to do it alone. Call me today or visit my website for a free consultation. I look forward to hearing from you!
