Relationships are at the center of all of our lives, and they affect our thoughts, feelings, and behavior. I believe all relationships can benefit from nurturing, growing, and healing: romantic relationships, family ties, and friendships. In my practice, I combine a variety of therapeutic techniques, including Attachment Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Gottman Therapy, to provide useful insights and helpful tools for building healthier, more satisfying relationships.
As a believer in preventing relationship stress and conflict and a licensed psychotherapist, I offer educational groups where couples can work to improve their relationship skills. It is a preventative approach to getting the skills and knowledge to prevent the common pain points that often occur when one person has ADHD. As I worked with more neurodiverse couples ADHD with non-ADHD partners , I observed the same conflicts and frustrations rising to the surface again and again due to executive dysfunction.
Seeing firsthand how knowledge and ADHD-friendly, skill-based learning can prevent so much frustration, hurt, and conflict that many neurodiverse couples face in their lifetime has been one of the most fulfilling parts of my work. Now a little about my background! I earned my B. I bring my growing knowledge of how systemic discrimination and oppression impact mental health into my work as a therapist and an advocate.
I remain committed to social justice work and participate in several groups focused on antiracism, neurodiversity, and LBGTQ rights. It is amazing to watch how quickly things change when ADHD-friendly strategies are used.
I use challenges, sensory feedback and fun to learn how to make their environment and relationships healthy for ADHD.
