My psychotherapy practice focuses on helping clients who struggle with the symptoms of ADHD to develop their specific coping strategies for managing the chaos in their lives. 

While I specialize in supporting young adults in transition to living independently, my leadership coach training and 30 years of providing management consulting serves to guide ‘more professionally experienced’ clients facing career challenges due to what ADHD thought-leader Dr. Russell Barkley calls “Intention Deficit Disorder” – that’s ‘IDD‘ not ADD. 

Many of my clients have the skills and knowledge to achieve their goals at work but were struggling to move from intention to purposeful action with follow-through.  That sense of ‘underachieving’ can reek havoc on one’s self-concept, which makes for scattered thought processes …and so the cycle of emotional dysregulation deepens.

The Gottman Method guides my approach to couples counselling.  When a relationship rupture has occurred between intimate partners, we will work to rebuild the trust and friendship that serves as the foundation for healthy communication needed to rebuild shared goals for a life together.

For First Responders who are experiencing PTSD or vicarious traumatization, deploying Somatic Experiencing approaches can assist in their crisis stabilization and return to emotional safety.
