Psychotherapy can be a place of refuge in a world that often feels overwhelming, fast-moving, or simply too much. You may be navigating burnout, grief, anxiety, or big life transitions — or feeling the weight of existential worries about the state of our world. Many people come to therapy seeking space to reflect, recalibrate, and connect with their own values and needs. You don’t have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. It can be a space to better understand yourself, explore relationships, or make sense of patterns that have shaped your life.
I work with a wide range of people, including adults who identify as neurodivergent — often diagnosed later in life — and parents who are supporting ND children. I bring particular experience with managing competing sensory, emotional, and caregiving needs in the home, and those seeking more sustainable and meaningful ways to live, connect, and play.
My approach is client-centered and collaborative. I will listen with care and curiosity, seek to understand your perspective, and support your self-awareness, self-acceptance, and growth. I’ll offer reflection, strategies when useful, and steady encouragement as you work toward goals that matter to you. Please email me if you would like to learn more.

Lila is incredibly warm and kind and instantly makes people feel safe. She is very wise but instead of using that knowledge at you, she uses it to gently connect with and guide you to what feels truly genuine for you. I would trust her with any client!
