I see High Sensitivity, Autism, and ADHD as neurotypes. They are not disordered, rather they reflect a nervous system and brain that is set up differently. Learning how your particular brain works — how it gets motivated, what fuels the attention system, how it processes sensory data, emotions, and memory — lets us understand you better. It gives clarity on your liabilities and needs, as well as your strengths and gifts.

People with neurodivergence often struggle with their self-worth, because they’ve long been moving through a world that wasn’t designed for them and often invalidates their experiences. Yet HSPs, Autistics, and ADHDers often have so much inner beauty and gifts to offer the world. It is my deep honor to be able to reflect their value and worth back to them, and to help them learn to see and embody this for themselves.

Many of the neurodivergent folks I work with also tend to be incredibly hard on themselves. Self-Compassion is a vital skill to learn. Growth, presence, and all of the things we long for are supported when we establish a gentle, kind relationship with ourselves, our pain, and our mistakes.

I help you get unstuck creatively, find ways to feed and nurture your creative self, or open back up to a passion or creative pursuit you may have put down at some point.

Postpartum Depression and Anxiety are common in new Moms and Dads. The brain undergoes major changes in pregnancy and postpartum that can lead to PMADs in those who are at risk, and re-trigger old “stuff”. Degree of social support and changes in identity are also contributing factors. I will support you through this wild and tender time, and help you find your way back to yourself.

We will determine the main elements — both internal and external factors — that give way to your Anxiety or Depression, and create a plan of how we will address them.

I help you take feelings or somatic responses and break them down — naming the individual components of emotion and anxiety that comprise your reactions. You will improve your capacity to hold your emotions and anxiety, and slow down the frenetic energy that comes with these. You’ll have more space and clarity, and improve communication with your friends and colleagues.

How we experience connection, love, community, and aloneness is integral to our overall wellbeing. We will work on improving your quality of relationships and your ability to give and receive care in meaningful ways.

Using concepts like psyche and Self, we dive deep into who you are, in terms of ego, identity, and personality, as well as transpersonal aspects of being human — what it’s like to have a soul, what it’s like to be conscious, and how can we use multiple layers of consciousness to support our healing.

I look at social aspects of our reality to understand how our suffering is located not just inside our selves, but also in the systems where we exist.
