Hi there! I’m a psychologist who focuses on neurodiversity, working with people who have unique ways of experiencing the world, like those with autism, ADHD, and other neurodiverse traits. I understand that each person may face challenges related to communication, sensory sensitivities, executive function, or social interactions. My focus is on helping you with these aspects through understanding and personalized support. A lot of my clients come to me looking for clarity about their neurological differences and practical ways to handle everyday life. They want to understand themselves better and find strategies that work for them

I’m all about offering a caring and personalized approach. Whether it’s through thorough assessments or tailored therapy, my goal is to support you in overcoming obstacles and building on your strengths. I want to help you improve your quality of life and reach your goals.

If you’re looking for support and a better understanding of your neurodiverse experience, don’t hesitate to get in touch. I’d love to hear from you and work together on your journey. Reach out, and let’s see how I can help!
