Therapy for Young Adults and Millenials

I provide Neurodivergent-Affirming Therapy and specialize with ADHD specifically. For ADHD individuals in therapy, a focus is placed on self-acceptance, exploring core beliefs, and the impact of cultural norms. I will assist you to work with your brain instead of against it to allow you to begin to let go of self-judgement and feel confident in your ability.

For those within the queer community I provide an identity-affirming perspective which is supported by having acquired a Minor in Gender studies that I obtained during my Bachelor’s degree and having the constant goal to maintain an understanding of the struggles and needs of those within the queer community today.

For those wanting to focus on improving Self Image and/or Body Image I utilize the following perspectives to help you in move forward in your journey:

Intersectional Perspective– different aspect of an individual’s identity are taken into consideration to process how each aspect intersects to impact your self image or body image. Examples of different aspects of identity include gender, ethnicity, sexuality, etc.

Culture/Family/Relationships: each of these categories will be explored as part of better understanding what has led to your current sense of self

Strength-Based – focus on understanding your strengths as an individual; what has worked in your life rather than what hasn’t

Body Neutral/Body Positive for Body Image

• Body Neutral: not seeing your value or worth as related to your appearance, and instead being able to see your body’s worth as being based in what it allows you to do each day
• Body Positive: beginning to see what you have previously experienced as “flaws” or “problems” based on societal norms, and instead focus on allowing yourself to begin the process of loving your body as it exists today
