About me

I am a long-term student of human nature, owing in part to a skill learned in neurodivergence. I practice therefore from a place of both expertise and my human experience. I use in my practice both strength-based counseling and CBT as well as a variety of other evidence-based therapies. I am an expert in a wide variety of problems from addictions, to trauma and Domestic Violence, to anxiety and depression to name a few. I've worked in severe mental illness in clinical psych. I've worked as a social worker with homeless people, with elderly people, and with people with schizophrenia. Above all, I'm an export in instant rapport where I meet my client's where they are at, where you are at, and we begin from there.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, we will start to get to know each other and with that I will ask about some of your history, some of your stories whether you have experienced trauma, addiction, suicidal ideation, etc. Sure, but I hope to have that within the context of providing a safe and secure and sometimes even fun environment to learn in.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have worked with all kinds of severe mental illness as well as individuals without severe diagnostic criteria and I enjoy learning and being curious about a client's story. I provide strength-based counseling in navigating a world with my own identity as neurodivergent with diagnoses of ADHD and Autism. I am a recovering addict with long-term sobriety and experience in addictions counseling and can bring this expertise to an individual wanting to talk about this issue and find a solution to it.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I enjoy working adults who have been diagnosed with ADHD and Autism as adults. I like to work with folks struggling with anxiety and depression as well and help all people discover why they feel as they do. If you are curious, as I am, as to why you feel the feelings you do I am well equipped to help you find your answers. However, I value that your life become 'better' however you define it, in some meaningful and measureable way. If you want your life to be better and to feel better, then I am the therapist for you. I've seen a wide variety of clients and helped them all find both deeper meaning and measurably better life in the here-and-now.

I always seem to connect well with Jayme. He seems to understand the things I'm expressing to him and he tends to have good feed back for me to later reflect on.
