Who should pick me as a therapist?

You want to learn:

  • How an ADHD diagnosis (or suspected diagnosis) impacts sense of self and relationships.

  • You have unresolved childhood abandonment trauma resulting in C-PTSD.

  • The nature of your trauma is more psychological and nuanced.

You prefer a more interactive therapist over someone that sits and nods.

You are struggling to understand yourself and your relationships.

I can help you:

Learn how Trauma, ADHD, and CPTSD have impacted your emotion regulation, organization, focus, mindfulness, and relationships.

Develop Behaviors and Understanding that help:

  • Resolve childhood abandonment

  • Increase focus and attention

  • Facilitate depth in relationships

  • Manage intense and often overwhelming feelings

  • I tend to be more interactive than most therapists according to the feedback I get from clients and colleagues.

    Sessions are 50 minutes and we may explore formative experiences and unconscious beliefs, build understanding of maladaptive thoughts, construct strategies to enact new patterns and move towards change.

    Core to my work is the belief that thriving requires meaningful connections to passions, work, purpose, and community. Lacking these results in increased anxiety, low energy/mood, distractibility, self-loathing, inner conflict, relational issues, and seeking aliveness often through hedonic pleasures.

    By shifting your internal paradigm through this thoughtful approach you can overcome obstacles to your growth and change.

  • My approach to ADHD work focuses a lot on the impact that ADHD has on self worth and relationships. While some of the work may examine strategies for organizational skills, overall we will spend more time on ways to manage interpersonal relationships better and reduce conflict and anxiety.

  • Abandonment doesn’t necessarily mean you were left on a doorstep somewhere as a child. It can be a subtle psychological phenomena. If you have trouble feeling like you fit in, being close to others, understanding or having control of your feelings, you may have experienced emotional abandonment.

  • Out of pocket rates:

    $120-165 per 50 minute session sliding scale for individual sessions.

    $200 per 50 minute family/couples.
