About My Clients
Do you struggle to manage your ADHD? You constantly beat yourself up for putting off important tasks, forgetting the ONE thing you had to remember, or letting your emotions get the best of you at home or at work. You get overwhelmed by sights and sounds, and before you know it another day slips by without progress on your goals. I've been there, and I want to help you turn chaos into compassionate control. You're not broken, you just need to learn to work WITH your brain instead of against it.
My Background and Approach
I have lived experience as an adult with ADHD, and I have 13 years experience working with others who want to find balance. As a clinical social worker, I look at all the factors that make you who you are - experiences, culture, race, spirituality, sexuality and gender all play a role and deserve to be explored boldly. My approach is practical, giving you concrete steps you can take outside of therapy to see the changes you are longing for. In session, I use a combination of solution focused, mindfulness body awareness and self compassion, and person centered dialogue to support you in your goals. I welcome feedback on any of my methods or interventions because I believe YOU are the expert on you. I also bring my authentic self including humor and dynamic interaction, because no one wants therapy from a robot. I see you as an individual and honor that you have unique needs not found in any textbook. Contact me today to start discovering the life satisfaction you deserve.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I operate from a social justice framework and talk openly about legacy burdens, the impact of having or not having privilege, and how identity and intersectionality shapes our experience in the world. I myself am neurodiverse and identify as bisexual and while that doesn't mean I can know what your unique experience has been like, it does mean I have felt some of the complex emotions that come along with these identities. When I work with a client, I strive to independently educate myself on their specific culture and how it may impact them, to lessen the burden on the client to do the educating. I also seek trainings that help me grow this framework. At the same time, I am here to listen how you as an individual move through the world and always see you as the expert on yourself.
