Living as an ADHD or Autistic adult can be frustrating and overwhelming. You might feel out of step with the world or misunderstood. Why don’t people just say what they mean? Why can’t people respect your process just because it’s different? Why can’t you feel more at peace with your body, mind, and senses? Our minds are colorful and complex, yet we struggle in a world not tailored to our unique patterns. Adapting and masking our true selves to fit in can be exhausting. The constant need to adapt, the feeling of being misunderstood, and the search for a space where you can be your true self is a path you need not walk alone.
Using dynamic & mind-body techniques, we’ll face your challenges–rejection sensitivity, socializing, intense emotion, sensory issues, & anxiety/depression–together. This journey focuses on enhancing your strengths—creativity, empathy, authenticity—& embracing your ADHD or Autism, your neurodivergence, as a vibrant, unique lens to thrive on your own terms.
My goal is to provide a safe haven for your unique mind. I specialize in addressing the social/emotional challenges & diagnosis/testing of even the most masked ADHD & ASD adults. If you’re seeking guidance from someone who not only empathizes with but embodies these experiences, let's connect & embrace your neurodivergence together.

My journey as an ADHD professional coupled with my experience working with a spectrum of neurodivergent individuals allows my practice to offer a safe haven for exploration and growth. I also offer testing and assessment for those who have gone undiagnosed, and my unique perspective as both a professional and member of the community equips me to accurately diagnose even the most masked individuals

I use Psychodynamic approaches to explore how your life experiences shape your present day experience, and to help you develop insight into yourself and your patterns of life. I then use Mindfulness-Based and Somatic techniques to help process these experiences and insights at a physical and emotional level, allowing for deeper exploration. I also integrate other approaches in line with your needs
