Clinical Social Worker/Therapist -
Are you having racing thoughts, difficulty focusing, or trouble sleeping? Do you find you often forget things or have a hard time sitting still without fidgeting? Do you feel disconnected from others or struggle in social situations? Symptoms of ADHD and Autism can be difficult to navigate in a world that expects adults to always be “on top” of everything or the life of the party.
As a former special education teacher, I specialize in working with individuals with both mental health issues and developmental disabilities like Autism and ADHD. With therapy, we can work on strategies for managing the challenges and help you to feel more comfortable and confident in your life.
Because of COVID, things may be especially difficult right now. I understand how beginning this process can feel overwhelming, which is why I like to take things one step at time. Please feel free to contact me or book a free consultation on my website to see if we’d be a good fit.
