therapy and assessments
As a psychologist with ADHD myself, I am dedicated to providing a safe, supportive therapy environment for neurodivergent clients.
How it works:
The first step is to book a free, 15-minute consult so that we can learn about your goals and make sure we’re a fit.
If we feel we are a good fit for working together, we’ll set up an intake appointment so I can understand your history and current challenges.
Each subsequent session will be a step towards understanding, healing, and empowerment that will help you reach your goals.
Services
Cognitive behavioral Therapy (CBT)
I use CBT to help you identify automatic negative thoughts that can hinder your goals and negatively impact your behaviors and emotions. I help my patients get better at detecting detrimental thoughts and then reframing them into self-serving ones that help them reach their life goals.
The results from therapy aren’t instant. You can’t ‘Amazon Prime’ hard work, but it is possible to sustainably and positively impact your thinking patterns.
Comprehensive Psychological Assessments
Through a process of thorough questioning and standardized measures, I can help clarify complicated diagnostic questions. Together, we’ll understand your symptoms, the best course of action, and a treatment plan.
At times, an in-depth assessment may be recommended. Other times, diagnostic interviewing may be enough to determine what needs to be worked on.
Executive Functioning Coaching
I help you build the cognitive and self-management skills needed to accomplish daily tasks, manage time, and achieve goals. Unlike traditional tutoring, which focuses strictly on what to learn, EF coaching focuses on how to learn, plan, and execute.
We will practice the skills discussed both in session and via HW.
I employ a very client-centered approach to therapy, knowing that everybody is at a different stage. I explain things in plain language so that you can understand your wonderful, complex brain. Helping you to connect to what’s happening is an essential step to managing symptoms and shifting perspective.
