SERVICES

PSYCHOTHERAPY
Perhaps you're in a strange place in your life, and you've been wondering how you got here. Maybe you're feeling disconnected in one or more of your relationships, or you'd like to pivot your life's course in a different direction. Whatever your needs may be, I am here to offer support. Therapy takes hard work but yields great reward. In our sessions I will push you toward greater mental health by encouraging self-compassion, honest reflection, and the adoption of new attitudes and reactions. I have the tools and professional experience to help you step into your best self. I work with adults, couples and adolescents. See My Approach to learn more about my therapeutic style.

EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING COACHING
Executive functioning skills are comprised of three main components: working memory, cognitive flexibility, and inhibitory control. Many of us may have minor deficits in one or more of these areas, but when it becomes difficult to carry out day-to-day tasks and do what feels important to us, this is a sign that we need some support. I offer coaching to help students and professionals to cope with executive dysfunction, which includes but is not exclusive to the ADHD diagnosis. I introduce clients to a variety of skills and techniques, and together we develop a repertoire that is optimal for your lifestyle. Coaching sessions are typically weekly, 75-minute sessions focusing on time management, task initiation and execution, emotion regulation and procrastination, physical and technological organization, motivation, and self-care. If you'd be interested in working together, let's connect.

MY APPROACH
As an integrative therapist, I tailor the techniques I use to the needs of each client. I draw primarily from the following approaches, in which I have advanced training:
I take a warm, casual and deeply compassionate approach to therapy. In session, I prioritize exploring your emotional and relational experience in the present moment. As I'm aware that sitting with difficult emotion by oneself can be quite daunting, I take special care to ensure you know we're in this together, that you don't have to face these big emotions alone. By paying careful attention to how your present experience both emotionally and within your body shifts from moment to moment, we can learn a great deal about what lies at the root of any symptoms you may be experiencing. Using an open and curious stance, I make room for clients to explore any and all emotions that come forth. You can expect to laugh, cry and any emotion in between; all of it is welcome in our sessions.
