I focus on helping individual clients adjust to late-diagnosed neurodivergence, women's issues, and trauma recovery. Most clients begin with weekly therapy for 4-6 weeks. Once targeted symptoms improve, we begin to decrease frequency of sessions. Couples work is focused on emotional repair, increasing communication, deepening connection, and improving conflict resolution skills.
