- You want to do well at university — not just pass, but actually feel proud of what you get done. The problem is, your own expectations feel impossible to meet, and the fear of failing (even by your own standards) can make every class deadline and life chore feel like too much. If you’re a student with ADHD or autism, this pressure can feel even heavier — especially when traditional help doesn’t always work for you. I help neurodiverse students like you — through tutoring and coaching se...
I work with people who identify as: quirky/nerdy, highly-intelligent, introverted, highly-sensitive, or as having ADHD or Autism (or some combination of these). People with these traits often share something: a sense of outsider-ship, of not quite belonging. Sometimes that's just fine, but sometimes it hurts, and can lead to loneliness, shame, isolation, depressions, self-loathing--all that fun stuff. I, myself, have 3 or 4 of the above traits, AND was homeschooled on top of it, so my own...

You have the weight of the world on your shoulders, and have for a very long time. As a child, you had to grow up quickly and take on adult roles, because you had a parent who wasn’t always able to be fully present. Overwhelming emotional pain weighs on you. And you’ve found that the emotional pain shows up as physical pain too - a literal heartache, muscle aches, or back pain. You’ve also lost your appetite or find yourself eating more than usual. You went through something horrific. And you th...
There's something you are seeking to understand and discover. Though you may not know exactly what that is at this time, the need and desire to search is there. Something is compelling you to begin the quest of transmutating the old and leaden parts of yourself into a more insightful and refined whole. What is important is that you have decided to begin the quest of understanding your past and present, and determining your future. I can join you on this quest. I have a broad experience across t...

My approach to therapy is holistic. I consider your culture, worldview, family practices, race/ethnicity, faith, sexual orientation, as well as other attributes that make you, YOU. I believe there is significant growth and beauty that comes through pain and challenges. That healing has much to do with grace and forgiveness, as does truth and accountability. I will provide guidance, or sometimes silent support to help you meet your goals and gain insight and resolution to what troubles you. The s...

I provide a systemic approach to the treatment of couples, adolescents, and families to help foster emotional health and connection. I received ...

I love speaking with people about the families and places they have come from and where they hope be in the future. I recognize that a universal commonality is pain and suffering an...

MY APPROACH TO HELPING I help people who struggle with adult parent-child relationships. I help stop the vicious cycle of guilt, shame, and overly controlled behavior. My clients struggle as you do. My clients report a parent who ignored them literally. They tried everything they could to please the parent and get the parent to see them, but they never did. The feeling that they aren’t good enough is pervasive. Even in areas where they earn awards and respect, they worry that they will hear the...
