I am a lower-cost therapist who is dedicated to providing relevant care to neurodivergent individuals, including those with autism, ADHD, and trauma-related neurological differences, who are anxious, depressed, or both. If this is you, you probably suffer from low moods, loneliness, over-thinking, perfectionism, low self-esteem, a feeling of being chronically misunderstood, a hard time staying in the present, and painful relationship patterns, right? You probably also have powerful skills of introspection. You understand yourself, but not how to change your life. That's why therapy should offer you so much more than just insights.
My approach reflects my lived experiences of neurodivergence and trauma: bit.ly/kvneuro. I offer Emotionally-Focused Therapy for Individuals, and I am a Certified Autism Clinical Specialist. I can also offer free therapy through the Crime Victims Assistance Program. I want you to have the experience of working with a someone who understands and respects you.
Although I have the education and training to give effective therapy, I think my personal experiences of trauma and recovery matter even more. You deserve acceptance and understanding and I have the lived experience and natural capacity to give it to you. I'd love to talk on the phone for 15 minutes, but if writing is more comfortable, message me.

I use an Emotionally-Focused approach to treating Anxiety and Depression; basically, we are going to crack the code of what is underneath these chronic states of unhappiness and stress, let you process it, and set up a life free of these burdens. If you are neurodivergent (i.e., living with autism, ADHD, or trauma-related brain differences), I am committed to making therapy relevant for you.

I am primarily an Emotionally-Focused For Individuals Therapist, but I also use Narrative, Somatic, and Mindfulness techniques. Ultimately, we create experiences in session that transform your relationship with yourself and others. Also, because I work with mainly neurodivergent clients, part of the work often involves looking for ways to make life more liveable with a differently wired brain.
