I am a lower-cost therapist who is dedicated to providing relevant care to neurodivergent individuals, including those 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 is evidence-based and informed by my own lived experiences, including neurodivergence and trauma. I offer neuro-affirming Emotionally-Focused Therapy for Individuals, and I am a Certified Autism Clinical Specialist. I want you to have the experience of working with a care provider who understands and respects you for who you truly are.

Although I have the education and training to give effective therapy, I think my personal experiences of both suffering and recovering 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. We start with awareness: learning about your history, the patterns in your life, and how your thoughts and emotions play into them. Then we focus on expression: helping you to process the experiences that keep you stuck and in pain. Finally, we aim for transformation: finding practical ways to apply your new skills to your life.
