About Me

I provide support for adults and adolescents who struggle with symptoms related to ADHD, such as Executive Functioning, and Self-Regulation. I am also available to work with adults who may be living with a person with ADHD (e.g. child or partner) and are looking for skills and strategies for the home environment as well as emotional support for their own journey.

​

I also work with women, non-binary, and trans people who are experiencing the physical, emotional, and/or cognitive challenges that come with perimenopause and menopause. I provide an affirming space for the exploration of a variety of symptoms that can cause distress in midlife as well as management strategies that honor this universal phase.

I am passionate about overall wellness and believe that the connection between emotional, mental, and physical health is a tight braid in which each strand blends into the next and the strength of one affects the strength of the whole. I encourage mindfulness, movement, and self-care and challenge clients to recognize and combat negative thinking patterns.
