Availability for new full fee clients in Spring 2024! I provide ADHD solutions-focused therapy to gender expansive, queer, and neurodivergent adult clients. This work is skills-based, fun, sometimes hilarious, compassionate, non-judgmental and meant to help clients reach their goals with executive functioning, distress tolerance, behavior change, task completion, short-term blocks or hurdles, and long-term planning, organization, and emotion regulation. I also offer short-term DBT 'tune-up' individual therapy for those who already have DBT skills training and are seeking some short-term assistance with a particular challenge.
With 16 years in the counseling and psychology field, I am seated in social justice and systems frameworks and understand all clients exist within multiple contexts. I believe bringing this awareness can assist clients in enhancing self-compassion, decrease shame about individual challenges, and motivate clients towards changes they seek. It's dialectical!
I lead with compassion, rapport-building, and discernment, assisting clients in identifying goals, where they are stuck, and together we find the strategies to get through those barriers and towards lasting change. Sometimes the work takes very little time, for others, the work may take longer. Whatever length the journey, I approach you like it's worth it.
