Are you overwhelmed, burnt out, or unhappy in life, but not quite sure why or what to do to change things? Are you going through a major life transition, relational rift, or personal loss and working through what it means for you as you move forward? I focus on providing a safe, inclusive, trauma-informed, compassionate, and ND-affirming space to support you as you make connections, process trauma and identify meaning, set new healthy boundaries, foster secure attachments, adapt to change, and live confidently in line with your personal values to build and embrace the rich and meaningful life you deserve.
I am a relational and ACT-based therapist- my practiced is fueled by ongoing, specialized neuro-affirming training in ADHD and autism, LGBTQIA+ issues, healthy boundaries, and grief (see website for full list of trainings); while my passion for supporting and advocating for others with these issues comes from lived experience.
There is both grief and relief in finally recognizing how your brain works and what it needs to thrive. It would be my great honour and privilege to walk with you on this self-reflective journey toward identifying your needs and learning how to meet them through acceptance of your authentic self.

Therapy with late-diagnosed/late-identified Autistics and ADHD'ers typically involves a lot of psychoeducation, validation, emotional regulation, deep processing of secondary trauma, complicated grief, and internalized ableism, and a focus on re-establishing supportive community and healthy boundaries.
