About Merry
I am licensed in California with 33 years of professional work experience. I have worked with a variety of client issues over my career and have a special affinity for those with ADHD and Learning Differences. These neurodiverse conditions often show up as depression, social anxiety, isolation, disorganization, and academic and workplace failures before young or older adults realize they have ADHD. Additionally, I have expertise with high-functioning Autism Spectrum, (formerly Asperger Syndrome), Non-verbal Learning Disorder NLD), and Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD). Many clients present with anxiety, grief, motivational blocks, addiction, low self-esteem, and self-image distortion. That said, the focus of my treatment approach is relational. Through a Behavioral-Cognitive lens, I seek to establish a trusting relationship, helping my clients reveal to themselves the unique strengths they have while not diminishing the importance of exploring current self-concepts. I believe it is never too late to discover one's abilities and gifts and that we have it within ourselves to overcome defeats and habits that hold us back from realizing our potential. It is an honor to work with individuals on this path. Read more Show less
