About Me
I am passionate about helping adult ADHDers and AuDHDers to find new ways to make sense of and take action around their experiences so that they can access more joy and self-acceptance, and channel their energy to make high-impact changes where desired. And though therapy does require hard work and honesty, it works best when there’s also a lot of warmth and humor, so I have a passion for providing those as well!
