Come for the clinical insight, stay for the space where you never have to apologize for how your brain works. If you are exhausted from masking, trying to force your brain into a neurotypical mold, or carrying the invisible weight of generational trauma and covert abuse, you already know that "just trying harder" isn't a treatment plan. You don't need a therapist who expects you to fit into a neat, tidy box. You need a space where you can untangle the chaos, understand your symptoms, and figure out how your brain actually works.

My therapeutic style is eclectic and deeply individualized. Looking through a psychoanalytic lens, we will explore the "why" behind your patterns. From there, we integrate CBT, DBT, and mindfulness to create tangible change. I heavily emphasize symptom tracking and psychoeducation—giving you clarity on your experience.

Through collaborative treatment planning, you are always in the driver's seat of your own goals. Healing requires feeling safe. Bring your hyperfixations, your unmasked self, and your messy moments. Reach out today for a free 15-minute consultation to see if my approach is the right fit for your brain!

Together, we'll make space for curiosity and compassion to better understand your experiences.
