Do you feel like you’re navigating life on "hard mode"? Perhaps social interactions require weeks of mental rehearsal, or the weight of daily care tasks feels like an impossible burden. You might be longing for the uninhibited joy of childhood and more space to dive deep into your special interests.
Many of my clients navigate the physical toll of living in a world not built for them. Often, this includes managing chronic pain, GI distress, or chronic illness alongside the daily weight of sensory overload. With specialized training in neuro-affirming somatic approaches, I can help you build nervous system regulation techniques.
My goal is to cultivate a collaborative partnership rooted in safety and deep respect for your autonomy. We focus on radical self-accommodation, tailoring your environment to honor your natural energy and capacity. Together, we will process lived trauma and dismantle systemic ableism, making space for your most authentic self to thrive.
As a neurodivergent therapist, I celebrate the unique way your brain and body experience the world. You belong here exactly as you are. Together, we can prioritize support that honors your specific neurotype, moving beyond one-size-fits-all approaches. You deserve a soft, nonjudgmental space to discover the tools that truly resonate with you.
