About My Clients

Within the therapeutic relationship, I help clients look deeply at how their lived experience of neurodivergence shapes who they are today. I also work with people on common challenges such as ADHD overwhelm, big emotions, struggles with organization, time-blindness and/or prioritization. And I have ADHD, so I know from my own experience what it’s like to be successful on paper yet also feel constantly overwhelmed and burned out, and to feel like everything seems harder for you.

My Background and Approach

You may have had the experience of “getting” something on a logical level, yet finding that knowledge to be inadequate or insufficient. I believe real change has to be felt, not just rationalized. So I focus on creating a relationship where it’s safe to take relational risks and have new experiences that create change on a deeper level. Within the relationship, the work can take many forms, I believe the past is important in understanding the present, and that it’s useful for helping you understand your attachment style and relational patterns. if you’re one of the many neurodivergent people who have experienced trauma, we can draw on Internal Family Systems/parts work to help heal your younger self. My goal is to always meet you where you are, and sometimes that might mean drawing on my background as an ADHD coach in taking a more practical, skills-based approach.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a relational, attachment-based therapist, I believe that the therapeutic relationship is a powerful vehicle for change. As a systemic therapist, I also believe that the systems you’re part of matter, and that your experience can’t be understood outside of those systems. I identify as Queer and non-binary and enjoy working with clients who share these identities.
