I’m here to help you thrive, not just survive.
If you’ve ever felt like your brain didn’t come with an instruction manual, you’re not alone—and you’re not broken. I work with neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD, Autism, and brain injuries, as well as people navigating sexuality, body image struggles, religious trauma, and childhood trauma. Whether you’re looking to process past experiences, improve daily functioning, or just have a space where you can be fully seen and heard, I’m here. Let’s figure this out together.
If you struggle with ADHD, anxiety, or sensory overload, I’ll help you find strategies that actually fit your life. No one-size-fits-all solutions—just real, practical ways to navigate the world on your terms. My goal isn’t just to help you manage life, but to help you build one that feels meaningful, fulfilling, and true to who you are.
My approach is all about working with your unique brain, not against it. I combine person-centered therapy, where you lead, with practical tools from CBT to help untangle unhelpful thought patterns. But therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical or heavy all the time. I bring warmth, humor, and a no-nonsense style, creating a space where you can be yourself.
