Most therapy was not designed for neurodivergent minds, high-stress careers, or relationships impacted by burnout, trauma, communication struggles, or intimacy challenges.
If you are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, misunderstood, or stuck in patterns that generic advice has not helped, you are in the right place. I specialize in working with neurodivergent adults, first responders, couples, and individuals navigating relationship, intimacy, and nervous system
I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can explore the full range of your emotional and relational experiences—including those tied to sex, intimacy, and identity.

Perhaps you’ve been carrying things on your own for a long time. Maybe it's a complicated relationship with food and your body, questions around identity, or the lingering impact of past experiences - and you’re realizing that you don’t want to keep navigating it alone. You may feel high-functioning on the outside but internally overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand. You know the coping skills and insight that therapy can bring, but in the moments when things hurt the most, those tools feel out of reach. You want support that goes deeper than surface-level strategies and gets to the root issues.

You are always on high alert. Your brain is always scanning the room to make sure everything is okay. You over-apologize, over-explain, over-share or disconnect and push your emotions deep down. You feel different: maybe too emotional, too “much”. A sense of loneliness and longing for something you can’t describe looms in the background. No matter what you try the feeling that there’s “something wrong with you” just won’t let up. You try to feel better; from journaling, meditation, medication, to breath work, but still long for connection.

Anxiety and intrusive thoughts can make everyday life feel mentally exhausting.

Are you the eldest child who grew up with emotionally immature/unavailable parent(s)? Maybe for the majority of your life you took on responsibilities that were not yours, and you were known as the strong, and mature one since the adult(s) in your life had a hard time managing their feelings. This experience can be lonely, and persistent self-doubt and anxiety may continue to make putting your needs first an ongoing challenge in your personal, and or professional life. You may even struggle with persistent resentment, and guilt. Please know that being strong wasn't wrong, it was smart. Still, survival isn’t the same as healing.

Are you intelligent, "type-A", with a million things always on the go? On the outside you appear to have "made it", but on the inside your anxiety is crippling. You wonder if you have ADHD, you're working on 100 things at once, never seeming to be able to slow down until you crash (and then beat yourself up for resting). You start to wonder if you're depressed. Why does it feel like you're on such a roller coaster of emotions? You've tried journaling, meditating, maybe even medication or therapy, but you still feel stuck. You know you need to "love yourself", but you don't know how to actually DO that

You’ve always been the "reliable one." The rock. The person everyone turns to because they know you’ll get it done. But lately, being the one who holds it all together has started to feel like a cage. You’re juggling the the career, PT meetings, and the household, yet you feel like you’re falling apart in private.
As the resentment builds, you wonder: Who takes care of me? You’ve tied your worth to your productivity, convinced that if you stop providing, you’re worthless. Whether you are a parent, a partner, or a professional, the pressure to be "perfect" is eroding your energy. It’s time to stop disappearing into your roles.
