Neurodivergence is a blanket term for several conditions including ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder among other things. Individuals with neurodivergence often struggle with sensory overwhelm, emotion recognition and regulation, building and maintaining relationships, and executive functioning skills.

For those struggling with burnout, they may be facing uncertainty with making career changes, setting and maintaining boundaries with work, or the demands of the work they do such as compassion fatigue or vicarious trauma. These issues can be further complicated for those who may also be neurodivergent or struggling with chronic health challenges.

When we think of grief, we typically associate it with death. Grief can also be triggered by many other losses such as a loss of a job, end of a relationship, or receiving a diagnosis that results in disability. No matter the loss, your grief matters.

Trauma is another blanket term that covers everything from experiences of abuse or neglect to sudden or unexpected losses or experiencing events such as a car accident or fire. It can lead to a wide range of challenges including low self-esteem, feelings of guilt or shame, difficulty with trust, hypervigilance, intrusive memories, or difficulty experiencing positive emotions.

Whether you are coming to therapy with your partner or individually, we can work on improving skills for success in your relationships. Typically individuals may be struggling with boundary setting, communicating needs, or making decisions around whether to continue their relationships. I have experience working with individuals who may also be practicing ethical non-monogamy or other forms of nontraditional relationship structures.

There are many unique challenges that you may face as someone within the LGBTQIA+ community. Whether you are navigating exploring your identity, considering coming out, or navigating other areas of your life that may overlap with these identities we can work to help you live authentically as yourself. I am also able to provide WPATH letters for individuals seeking gender affirming medical care.

For those dealing with chronic illness or chronic pain, there can be a range of mental health impacts including grief, anxiety, or trauma. Adjusting to new limitations or barriers or navigating a complicated system can add additional stress. Therapy can provide support navigating and processing these changes.

Whether you experience panic attacks, social anxiety, or have a hard time managing day to day worry, anxiety affects many individuals. Therapy can support you in recognizing patterns in your worry, identifying roots of those fears, and build skills to help you better manage and regulate your nervous system.
