About My Clients
Shame-free ADHD involves working together one-on-one to bring less-stigmatizing language and perspective to what it feels like moving through your world and even to explore how others make it difficult. We explore systems to help with executive function and the difficult feelings that come up from feeling like you're not measuring up. Whether you are trying to avoid passing excess criticism to your kids, finding the courage to complete an unfinished goal, or finding your joy again, start here.
My Background and Approach
I am a psychotherapist trained in the specialty of Expressive Arts therapy, a brain-based, experiential approach to working with stress, trauma, systemic oppression, and other mental health struggles. I completed my training at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, California where I received my masters degree in counseling psychology specializing in expressive arts therapy. My approach is collaborative and centers on working with you to explore your own story. I use creativity, curiosity, and a perspective towards liberation and community connection. I feel deeply connected to supporting families working with neurodiversity, adults with ADHD, those recovering from narcissistic abuse, and those recovering from religious oppression and family estrangement.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My own journey to healing came as a result of living with lineage-based and religious oppression. These two forces loomed large in my early development and both seemed to work together to teach me that my voice and my choices were not only not important, but that using them caused backlash and rejection. As the body and mind tends to do, it moved me towards healing and connection with other like-minded people. The distance I gained from the systems of my origin bought me the opportunity to work freely in artistic expression. Here I found something that changed me forever - my own voice. I saw it there in the artwork I created and we met in some ways for the first time. Though I have always been justice minded, this activated a powerful advocacy within me to empower others to find themselves within the systems in which they exist, honestly confront how their voices may have been lost, and then work to recover it.
