Therapists » Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor
My work with clients has included addressing depression, anxiety, self-esteem and identity concerns as well as the social/emotional challenges that accompany ADHD, Autism and other disabilities. As a self avowed ‘nerd therapist’ with ADHD myself, I am passionate about working with fellow nerds, outcasts, artists or creatives who may feel out of sync with a mainstream approach. I am particularly adept at assisting clients in identifying their strengths and talents and applying them toward career, educational and other life goals. I am sex positive and endeavor to be an ally to LGBTQ+, poly and kink communities. I draw primarily from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), CBT and Humanistic theories of counseling. I also use assessments such as the VIA Character Strengths assessment, CliftonStrengths and the Big 5 Factors to assist clients in understanding themselves, their own talents and strengths and how they can better express themselves or relate to others. The process of learning and accepting who we truly are and then living an authentic life as ourselves can be surprisingly challenging, requiring tenacity and resilience. It is my hope to assist you in becoming the most awesome and genuine version of yourself that you have ever imagined. If you’re ready, let’s do this!
