My Services
Therapy, Coaching, Consulting
Therapy
For Individuals:
Real change rarely happens without challenge. My approach is proactive and focused, combining evidence based therapeutic practices along with strategies borrowed from goal oriented coaching styles. I employ a combination of therapeutic styles including those from CBT, problem solving therapy, motivational interviewing and positive psychology. There is no “one size fits all” approach to psychotherapy.
Together we will work to promote a greater understanding of yourself while exploring your goals in a non judgmental and compassionate space. Through a collaborative approach, I partner with clients on looking at patterns of thinking and behavior that may be keeping them “stuck.” Together we focus on your strengths to help overcome life’s obstacles. Our sessions are supportive, collaborative, dynamic, and goal oriented. I believe that everyone has strengths and talents and I work with clients in answering the question, “what do I want my life to look like?”
For Couples:
Neurodiversity impacts our relationships on a daily basis and often includes unconventional communication styles. Perhaps you and your partner would like to learn how to communicate better, set clear boundaries and learn healthier ways of expressing anger and other heightened emotions. Our sessions respect both the neurotypical and neurodivergent views along with the expectations necessary for creating and maintaining healthy and fulfilling relationships.
Together we will explore your relationship and cultivate an understanding and compassion for the individual differences in communication styles and expression of emotions. Using concrete techniques and exercises we will explore the different ways of growth for both individuals as well as for the couple.
Coaching & Consulting
Career & Life Coaching:
Are you unsure of the direction of your life goals regarding your career, relationships or level of independent living skills? Together, in a non judgmental and compassionate space, we will work to find direction and meaning. I will challenge you to explore what you would like your future to look like along with the necessary steps toward achieving the life you want.
With an informed psychological background, and over 25 years of experience I employ a proactive, focused coaching method. Coaching may take place virtually, in my office, your office or home. Together we will address challenges in activities of daily living, executive functioning (time management, organization, prioritizing tasks), problem solving and areas of independence.
Conscious Consulting
My mission is to inspire and transform the workplace for the better. I have extensive experience as a consultant to businesses and nonprofits regarding best practices in supporting neurodiversity in the workplace.
I offer training and workshops on supporting individuals with developmental disabilities as well as assistance with onboarding and supporting different learning styles. I assist businesses in understanding that disability is a valued aspect of diversity and that there exists tremendous diversity within disability.
For neurodivergent employees we will focus on the office “hidden rules” or soft skills necessary to obtain and maintain meaningful employment. I support managers and executives, through a neurodiversity lens, in challenging existing supervisory norms. I am available for training and education surrounding neurodiversity and disability in the workplace.
