I work with clients who might be struggling with trauma, ADHD, autism, or other types of neurodivergence, primarily with coping, emotional regulation, self-esteem, and their interpersonal relationships.
Accepting new clients! Exploring a new diagnosis? Are you feeling lost and misunderstood? Or maybe you're struggling to cope with a recent trauma?
Whether it's discovering your identity, such as being neurodivergent, or processing past experiences, or both, I provide a safe space where your lived experience is understood and valued.
Many clients come through my doors feeling like they've had to adapt to fit others' expectations or are struggling to be in alignment with their own lives. I believe in fostering a therapeutic relationship where you can show up exactly as you are and therapy that is genuine and collaborative.

If you’re neurodivergent (ADHD, Autism, or intellectual disabilities), navigating PTSD, or feeling pressure to meet expectations (especially as a teen, student, or woman) you might feel like therapy hasn’t fit.
I support neurodivergent clients, trauma survivors, and anyone who feels out of sync with the world around them. If you process things differently, feel stuck in anxiety, shame, or self-doubt, or are simply overwhelmed, you're not alone. I offer trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming therapy that meets you where you are.

In any case, my practice is for adults who are living with high functioning autism and/or ADHD or HSP.
Exploration during the sessions leads to increased understanding and the development of practical strategies which may facilitate communication, productivity and an increased sense of well being. Instead of endeavoring to “treat or fix” ASD or ADHD, the priority is on getting to know oneself better, leveraging strengths and optimizing quality of life.

With experience in autism, ADHD, trauma, and acculturation, I provide a confidential & compassionate space for growth and meaning making.
You’re holding it together on the outside, but inside it’s a different story. Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or just plain stuck. Sometimes, you don’t need advice—you just need someone to talk to who really listens. In therapy, there’s no pressure to have it all figured out. We slow things down, explore what’s really going on, and make space for your emotions—messy, loud, quiet, or confusing. We’ll unpack what’s been weighing you down and gently move toward what brings you relief, clarity, and purpose. If you're ready for real conversations and meaningful change, I’m here for it.

What is the most effective treatment for autism?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) has come to be considered the standard treatment for children with autism spectrum disorder, and research has confirmed its effectiveness for many children. Therapists trained in ABA techniques work with children (and their parents) on developing social skills, communication and learning abilities, and everyday habits of hygiene and grooming. The clinician will tailor their program to the child’s particular need but the overarching goal will be to help them advance as far as possible toward independence based on their level of symptoms and decrease the need for additional special services. Families should seek a mental health professional specifically trained in ABA, and holding special certification in the technique, who has extensive experience not only with the approach but in using it with children with the same level of symptoms as the child who needs care.
How does ABA work?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) sessions, which typically focus on positive reinforcement, can be intensive, lasting two or more hours several times a week, and continuing for two years or more. Therapists can also be expected to ask parents to take an active role in reinforcing lessons. Research has found that the technique can lead to major improvements that decrease the need for additional special services.
How does treatment for autism work?
Therapy sessions based on Applied Behavior Analysis will likely be frequent, intensive, and highly structured. After a thorough assessment, a therapist will help a child understand and develop skills in a range of areas, including communication, motor skills, social skills, self-care, play, and academic skills, as well as routines of daily living like hygiene. Typically, the therapist will help a child break down the components of a behavior—often referred to as the antecedent (what prompts an action), the behavior, and the consequence(what immediately follows)—and then reward the child at every step, while also asking parents to reinforce the lessons, and the rewards, throughout the day. This core therapy may be supplemented by occupational or speech therapy, and antidepressants, antipsychotics, and anticonvulsants may be prescribed to address specific severe symptoms.
How long does therapy for autism take?
Some people with autism spectrum disorder may be engaged in some level of therapy for many years, but research shows that treatment will be most effective if it is begun early and delivered intensively. When therapy begins by age 3, children tend to be better able to grasp and adopt the skills needed to manage everyday life, including attending school and establishing social relationships. This type of early-intervention treatment regimen is highly structured, typically involving 20 to 40 hours of one-on-one therapy per week, along with additional hours of engagement managed by parents, for a period of two years or more, although the duration of treatment is dependent on the child’s level of symptoms and pace of progress.
