Hello, I'm Kym! I'm a psychotherapist with a License in Marriage and Family Therapy (LMFT #129673). My specialty is helping people with ADHD, anxiety, and/or depression.

​

​

Most of my clients are neurodivergent and come to me struggling with feeling overwhelmed, lost, alone, stuck in negative thought loops, and/or procrastinating. Some may feel like you are barely holding it together. Aspects of ADHD can at times can make things like big life changes as well as basic day to day living feel extra difficult.

 

My clients often have creative minds and interests and while they may have their strengths, at times they have struggled with some aspects of  "adulting," finding "their people" or creating healthy relationships. Traditional talk therapy, perhaps before they suspected or knew they had ADHD or were neurodivergent in another way, may not have felt that helpful. Maybe this is your story as well. You aren't alone. With insight and tools tailored for your neurodivergent brain and nervous system, having a therapist that really understands ADHD and can help you understand how these interconnect for you, can make a big difference. Whether you're an adult seeking help for yourself or a parent seeking help for your teenager (and yourself), I'm here.

Common issues I help my clients with: ​​

• Overwhelm and decision paralysis: can look like "glitching" and getting stuck on the couch, struggling to take action

• Stress about current political events and getting stuck doomscrolling and spiraling in intense emotions

• Procrastinating 

• Low self-worth and negative thinking loops 

• Prioritizing everyone else's needs to the point of crashing, meltdowns and burnout

• Stress that shows up as feeling a tightness in your chest, headaches, tiredness, or knots in your stomach 

• Struggling with concentration and trouble focusing or feel motivated doing the important, but not interesting tasks

• Struggling talking about your feelings and needs, including/especially with people you care about

• Feeling alone, even when you are around others

• Grief and loss

• Big life changes

  • such as new diagnosis, school to work transition, moving, identity exploration, relationship status change, etc)

• Relationships and dating

• Challenges with family members (and boundaries)​

 

Together, I can help you work through the complicated emotions and use your strengths along with learn new skills to feel better. As a late-diagnosed neurodivergent myself, discovering and exploring ADHD for myself was complicated. With discovery, especially for those who are years out of school, there can be feelings of grief as well as relief and freedom. My own personal experience as well as my professional training and years of supporting clients helps me help you from a place of deeper understanding and insight. Along with my Master's in Counseling Psychology, I have additional training in trauma, ADHD, Autism, attachment, psychospiritual, multicultural and evidence-based therapies.

​

My approach incorporates neuroscience-informed practices, mindfulness, mind-body complementary modalities, and expressive arts. I sometimes use humor and playfulness with clients as I find it can be a way to build trust and closeness in a natural way. Itake a holistic perspective, exploring the interconnected ways your history, lifestyle, culture, community and social systems influence your wellbeing. Together, we can figure out ways to help you gain clarity and shift and adjust things so you feel more in control of your life and choices. We may bring in humor, special interests, "side quests," or use a favorite hyperfocus hobby to help you feel calmer, clearer, more understanding towards yourself, and reach your goals. 

​

I am passionate about providing affirming and competent care for all identities and am neurodivergent and gender affirming,  LGBTQI+ and BIPOC allied. 

​​

Additionally, I offer consultation with individuals and organizations to improve mental wellness and community engagement in schools and companies.
