  • You know that ADHD is interfering with your ability to get things done at work, school, and home, but no one has ever explained to you what exactly is happening in your brain and how you can adapt and/or advocate for yourself. People (including you) may assume that you’re lazy, incompetent, or stubborn, which can leave you feeling hopeless about change. Let me help you understand yourself and challenge those assumptions so we can find strategies that work for you.

  • Many people receive treatment for anxiety, and none of it seems to help (and maybe seems to make things worse). One of the reasons this can happen is when the source of a person’s anxiety is OCD. In cases like these, let’s talk about how Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) may be a good fit to address your symptoms so that you can move past the place where you feel stuck.

  • Anxiety is getting in the way of your ability to connect with others, pursue things that are important to you, and stops you from being present in your life. Let’s work together to learn skills that can calm the mind and body, and that challenge the assumptions that drive your anxious thoughts and behaviors so that you can experience relief.

  • Family expectations, trauma, a chronic drive to achieve – any of these things may have occupied your time and energy and kept you from giving yourself the space to explore the questions, “Who am I? What do I value? How do I want to live my life?” In our sessions, I can help you explore and learn who you are.

  • You feel cut off from the ability to trust and experience intimacy. It's hard to know when things are actually safe and healthy. You are frustrated when you notice harmful patterns repeating in your life, even when you have tried to escape them. Through our work together, we can understand your story and work at your pace to allow you to change relational patterns and find a place of safety inside yourself and your relationships.

  • Spiritual beliefs can be a powerful way of making meaning in your life and organizing your understanding of the world. That’s why it can be earth shattering when you’ve experienced trauma, abuse, or mistreatment in your spiritual community. This disconnect can occur after a major loss, when you experience doubts that are deemed “unacceptable,” when you experience abuse from spiritual leaders, or when the spiritual beliefs of your community have caused you to feel deep shame about yourself. When this happens, you might not have any spaces where you can honestly process how these experiences have impacted you, your faith and your beliefs. Let’s sit in that space together.
