If you have a neurodivergent brain like I do, chances are, you’ve developed a variety of tools to manage in a neurotypical world. Maybe these tools are no longer working or new roadblocks have gotten in the way. Maybe you are exhausted by efforts to mask your neurodivergence. Therapy can help you understand and appreciate your brain, identify and maximize strengths, develop a sense of authenticity, increase self-compassion, improve self-image, and learn effective problem-solving strategies.

Anxiety can show up in many ways. You may have noticed racing thoughts, uncomfortable physical sensations, irritability, or trouble sleeping. You may be struggling with intrusive thoughts, excessive worry, phobias, or panic attacks. Stressful experiences can lead to mood swings, feelings of guilt and shame, hopelessness, difficulty concentrating, physical symptoms, and many other symptoms. If anxiety, stress, or trauma are affecting your ability to function at home or work, therapy can help.

Whether you are graduating, starting a new job, moving, getting married or divorced, having children, or switching careers – life transitions can be tricky. Some transitions can activate old, unhelpful patterns or even trigger trauma responses. Even the life transitions we consider to be positive can cause stress. Therapy can help you better understand your thoughts and emotions, process the changes that are occurring, and find a path forward.

I describe myself as a humanistic therapist. What does that mean? Humanistic therapists view their clients as whole people rather than collections of symptoms and problems. Using this lens, I help my clients better understand themselves, develop self-acceptance, focus on personal growth, and live fuller lives.

Ecotherapy combines the healing power of nature with traditional therapeutic techniques. Exposure to nature can help reduce stress and anxiety, improve mood, and increase concentration. We can help you develop a plan to increase your contact with nature – including increasing outdoor activities, engaging in nature-based grounding exercises, or adding natural elements to your home and work environments.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (known as ACT) is an empowering and effective approach that helps you refocus on the things that matter most. If you have tried Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in the past but still struggle with problematic thought patterns, ACT might be a good fit. With ACT, you will learn how to observe your thoughts without getting hooked by them. Rather than trying to change or banish unwanted thoughts, you will learn how to change how you relate to them.

Getting enough quality sleep is essential to good health and mental well being. If you are struggling with insomnia, you may be experiencing difficulty falling or staying asleep, struggling with daytime fatigue, or having trouble concentrating. CBT-I is an evidence-based treatment for insomnia that is highly recommended by sleep experts and medical providers. It addresses the underlying causes of sleeplessness and helps you develop healthy sleep habits.

Left untreated, depression can rob you of your ability to participate fully in life. You may be struggling with feelings of deep sadness or hopelessness. Maybe you have noticed changes in your sleeping or eating patterns. You might even be struggling to concentrate or make decisions. If depression is affecting your ability to function at home or work, therapy can help.
