About My Clients
You're doing it all, doing it well (at the expense of yourself), and people really like you. The term "high functioning" comes up, but we all know what's happening behind closes doors. I work with neurodivergent adults who are masters at masking. The issues I see the most include ADHD, Depression, ASD, Eating Disorders, and Personality Disorders. My therapy style blends coaching with deeper conversations to uncover the life you truly want and what's in the way of getting there.
My Background and Approach
Working with neurodivergent clients has been the throughline for my entire 10+ year career. In that time, we have seen more research and heard more stories of lived experience that validate all the ways neurodivergence can show up for us. While becoming a therapist I was also diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, tried to continue overcompensating until I could no longer and am now on the other side to help. My approach involves clinical knowledge/training and lived experience. My clinical training involves skills based modalities like Radically Open DBT, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I love a good plan and strategy while also leaving room to process, vent, or unpack what's happening between your two ears. Clients would say that I am honest, direct yet compassionate. It has been known to laugh in our sessions while also getting to business. Irreverence and humor are at the core of how I work in the room.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I support the BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities through organizational work, mutual aid, and behind the scenes support. I work with Healing in the Margins to get their message out the others and have been a financial backer of them since they started. I know that we can only therapize our way out of shitty systems so much. Therapy is about learning ways to resource ourselves, build community, and gain strategies to work through all of (gestures widely) this...not just tolerate it. Living multiple decades of unprecedented can do a number on us, and that must be called out in our work. Yes I am a well meaning white woman that is doing her best and can always do better. Whenever I get something wrong, I focus on the chance to repair when welcome.
