After growing up with a lot of ACEs (early experiences of abuse, neglect, or severe stressors on a child’s parents), therapy was a lifesaver for me—but it didn’t always work as well as it could have.

I struggled hard with executive function—everything from homework and dishes to calling my health insurance company or job hunting. In therapy, we would talk about feelings, but my therapists never had much to say about how to actually take action on the tasks I needed to complete to move my life forward.

I would have given anything to understand why I couldn’t follow through with the simplest daily tasks.

It took me a long time to find real solutions. I’ve learned how to hold my very imperfect self accountable—lovingly—to build towards the things I believe in and care about. After graduating in the bottom third of my high school class, I graduated with my master’s degree phi kappa phi, with a 4.0 GPA and stellar references. My passions are finally reflected in daily action.

I believe the world needs what you have to offer. I want to make this journey faster and easier and less painful for you. You can read more here about how I approach therapy, or read more about me on DivergentPathWellness.com or over at psychology today. I’m so glad you’re here!
