The brain is built to change.

 

 

 

Oftentimes anxiety or past trauma makes you feel stuck, shrinking your world because you believe you "can't handle" things, uncontrollable worry, avoidance and fear or painful memories making it hard to fully engage in life. Relationships are plagued with past hurts and pain that you have trouble leaving in your past. Not to mention the overwhelming physical sensations, sleep difficulties and the feeling on edge when nothing seems wrong. I specialize in working with individuals around different types of trauma and anxiety, depression and ADHD find relief and gain a sense of peace and control in their lives.

ADHD can also make you feel stuck in life, watching others be able to do things that feel so daunting and impossible for you to achieve, feeling like you're a failure, knowing what you need to do but finding that you're unable to start or complete it, or avoiding rejection or failure at all costs. Thing is, there are many tools, skills, tips and tricks that research shows is helpful at managing these symptoms. Healing from all of the times where you were not able to perform to where you aimed to and finding resolve from all of the negative automatic thoughts that fill your head when faced with challenges or goals is possible. Understanding the ADHD brain and how it operates is helpful in finding ways to work and thrive with your ADHD.

My work integrates evidence-based techniques including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). These approaches allow me to effectively support individuals in healing from past traumatic experiences, develop tools to manage anxiety and depression, break long-standing patterns and gain a deeper sense of self and meaning in their lives.

I firmly believes in the power of science and human connection to bring about transformation and change. In my practice, I bring warmth, a genuine desire to fully understand, and the occasional crack at humor. My approach to therapy is rooted strongly in developing a relationship that is judgement free and safe to really get down into the weeds of the work.
