As a leader in the neurodiversity movement, I have dedicated my work as a therapist, educator, speaker, supervisor, business owner, and writer to support major shifts in conceptualizing mental health and create lasting change for neurodivergent folks. I specialize in working with clients who are exploring ADHD, AuDHD, autism, race, creativity, artistic identity, queerness, executive functioning, and relationships through individual, couples, and family therapy. I lead with authenticity and a unique focus on language that helps my clients design a life that reflects their unique wants, interests, desires, goals, and identities.
I have a life-long passion for philosophy and psychology, and have designed my own therapeutic approach that was borne out of executive functioning coaching, but has expanded to meet the needs of all of my unique clients. I am known for helping clients meet their goals and improve their lives in ways they have not been able to with other therapists.
I provide a grounded space to experiment, explore, and grow in an ever-changing and ever-challenging world. I founded the Center for Effective Artistry with all of that in mind, and work with an excellent team of therapists who can provide a good fit for people with diverse identities. You are welcome to reach out to meet for a free 20 minute consultation.

As a curious person who has spent my life exploring themes of existentialism, psychology, executive functioning, and philosophy, I bring my own unique theory and approach to therapy. I am passionate about the use of language in therapy, and believe that most therapy is applied philosophy. Additionally, I will utilize traditional theories when appropriate and effective with clients.
