My ideal client is neurodivergent or parenting a neurodivergent child, and they’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or misunderstood. They’re seeking a therapist who truly “gets it”—someone who brings both lived experience and clinical expertise. Their goals might include building emotional resilience, improving relationships, navigating new diagnoses, or just having a space to be themselves without judgment. They want therapy that’s affirming, practical, and tailored to how they think, feel, and grow.
Combining traditional talk therapy with elements of solution-focused therapy, narrative therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and drawing on the natural world and his specialty of Animal Assisted Therapy, I tailor each session to meet the client's unique needs and goals.
You deserve a space where you can feel understood, supported, and empowered to grow. Whether you're navigating a diagnosis, parenting challenges, or just need someone to talk to, I’m here to help. Therapy can be a turning point—and I’d be honored to be part of your journey. Let’s explore what healing could look like for you.
