About My Clients

You know it's more than just anxiety. It's like your true self is hidden behind a mask. Maybe you have received a diagnosis, or maybe you're self-diagnosed (and you’re probably wishing that your mom had taken you for an evaluation when you were younger.) You find yourself constantly trying to convince both yourself and others that you are "autistic enough" or that you actually have ADHD. If you are tired of hearing others dismiss your struggles by saying “it’s just anxiety” - let’s talk.

My Background and Approach

I will tailor your treatment through use of different modalities, like somatic and compassion-focused therapy. Together, we will identify how your symptoms are impacting you and how we can create a more peaceful life for you. I prefer person-centered, humanistic approaches. I like to incorporate modalities like compassion-focused therapy, which focuses on mindfulness, common humanity, and self-kindness. I will always work from a trauma-informed perspective, recognizing that our past influences our future.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I could write a list of my credentials, but it’s more important that you know I get it. I know that when you say you're tired, it's not fatigue, but chronic exhaustion. It's not that you don't want to do things; it feels like an insurmountable impossibility. And I know that you are so tired of feeling like everyone except you knows the script. I have the privilege of working with clients who come from diverse and challenging backgrounds. My clients are resilient— trauma survivors, military veterans, adults diagnosed with, seeking a diagnosis, or self-diagnosed with ADHD and Autism. These individuals often encounter obstacles in obtaining proper diagnoses and treatment, and I am dedicated to assisting them in navigating daily stressors and past traumas while cultivating the groundwork for a peaceful life. My ideal client is willing to honor their challenging past and work towards a future of peace and wellness.
