About
Do you experience random intrusive thoughts that feel complete opposite of what you would normally do? Like throw your phone at someone, hurt your child or yourself, envision your partner cheating, or even drive into a wall? You may be experiencing OCD spirals. Understanding how to differentiate it from anxiety is VITAL as traditional talk therapy can actually increase OCD symptoms at times. You're not crazy. I gear our sessions towards how to work WITH your brain, not against it, by exploring your day to day routine, past experiences and inner dialogue. Use the "My Website" link to check your copay in 30 seconds for free. I also specialize in adults who are diagnosed or suspect, that they have ADHD and/or Autism. Fatigue feels heavy and sometimes unexplainable. You "have it together" on the outside but behind closed doors, you feel as though you are scatterbrained. It's exhausting and you can't "handle" as much as you used to. Therapists are much like shoes. They're important to try on to see how comfy you feel. Please call and we can set up a time to see if we align for a good fit. (Texting does not work with the Psychology Today number. If texting is preferred please use this number instead (650-200-0903). Specialties: I recognize the difficulties of being an adult with a neurodevelopmental "disorder" (note the parentheses!) These include ADHD/Autism. Therapy works different for our brains and requires a specialized awareness of how these differences play into your day to day. For OCD, psychoeducation and an exposure response approach is often utilized.
"If we are addressing ADHD I typically use a solution forward approach with education about the way our brains work as humans from a ND perspective. With other topics, I often utilize ACT, narrative and existential theories. In other words, what is your purpose! Are you aligned with the way your life is going? And if not what are you actively doing about it?"
