Do you or your child have difficulties with regulating emotions, staying focused and organized, or maintaining social and personal relationships? Have you been feeling overwhelmed, under-stimulated, or burned out on life? Are you a young person struggling to launch into adulthood post-pandemic? I work with people who are neurodivergent across all ages with diagnoses such as ASD & ADHD. I also find great joy in helping people with trauma, mood disorders, relationship conflicts, life adjustments, or difficulties with grief and loss. I practice therapy that is affirming of all identities, orientations, and cultures.
My approach to therapy is integrated, meaning that I draw from a variety of ways to view my client, their difficulties, and interventions to help them meet their goals (psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, humanism/existentialism etc.). I find a holistic, collaborative approach is most effective. I incorporate play therapy and social skills into my work with children.
I believe all humans have relationship patterns that play out with each person in their lives, therapist included. If those patterns do not serve you, my job is to help you change those patterns so that you feel healthier, fulfilled, and connected to others. Therapy will not only discuss the client, but also their biology, identity, and cultural values.
