I like to help adults (couples or individuals) figure out how to manage the challenges that arise with executive function, sensory issues, etc. with ADHD. I also enjoy working with parents while navigating the challenges and gifts of neurodivergence, e.g. autism and ADHD, especially after a recent diagnosis or considering the risks and benefits of an evaluation.

I like to help clients with chronic diseases figure out how to address disability as part of their identity, incorporating it as one facet of themselves. I enjoy helping folks learn how to better manage their health, through making the most of their resources and support systems, while maintaining dignity and as much independence as possible.

I like to help clients through sexual and/or gender identity questions and transitions. This often brings up feelings of guilt, shame or other difficult emotions. I have a lot of experience in guiding people at their own pace through the process of coming into a sense of confidence with their true selves.

As a clinical social worker, I tend to view people in the context of a family system and a larger community. I often encourage clients to address problems by repairing or replacing missing connections and finding ways to cultivate/strengthen existing connections to find healing.

Narrative exposure therapy is a useful tool to address grief and trauma, and I have found it to be a big help to people who are dealing with emotions that initially feel overwhelming, to regain a sense of control and safety.
