Neurodivergence & Complex Trauma (ADHD + C-PTSD)
When trauma and a low dopamine brain collide, life can be difficult. This therapeutic work can help you reclaim your mind, develop a stronger sense of self-trust and worth, and achieve the well-being you deserve.
Diagnosis & Goal Setting
We work together to clarify your symptoms and ensure you receive an accurate diagnosis or diagnoses, so you can better understand yourself and set meaningful goals.
Skill Building
We build a toolkit that understands your sensory needs and calms your threat response. Some modalities I use are dialectical behavior therapy, compassion focused therapy, cognitive behavior therapy for ADHD, and trauma resiliency model.
Trauma Healing
Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) gives you the space to share your experiences while processing trauma stored in the body and brain. This is an ADHD-friendly alternative to other trauma therapies that are currently popular in private practice settings.
