Introduction

Whether you an adult, parent or even a therapist, seeking ways to support your brain and body's functioning is important. Do you feel anxious and overwhelmed about life and struggling to manage life's demands? I am a neurodiversity-affirming and trauma-informed therapist, providing support for ADHD'ers anxiety, depression, self-harm, relationships, family conflict, anger, insomnia, self-esteem, work related stress, and women's issues. I often use CBT, DBT and ACT in my practice. In your initial session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. CBT for those unwanted thoughts, and DBT can provide you with emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills. As a specialist in anxiety and ADHD coaching individuals with ADHD can develop the skills, strategies, and confidence needed to manage your symptoms. Understanding how your brain is wired can be deeply empowering. Anxiety does not have to be your enemy. There are ways to work with your anxiety that can help you manage anxious thoughts.
