I specialize in working with couples where one partner is autistic or has ADHD and traditional couples therapy hasn’t helped. This work is a fit when one partner carries most emotional or logistical labor, requests for change lead to shutdown, avoidance, or conflict, and past therapy increased resentment. Many partners arrive emotionally exhausted, unseen, and unsure whether real change is possible. My approach interrupts painful cycles without blame and creates practical, nervous–system–informed change. Sessions are structured, direct, and focused on clarity—not endless process.

I teach self-leadership, embodiment, and release. I want to help you explore what's true for you, listen without feeling protective/becoming defensive, and learn to feel safer in relationships (with others but also with yourself.)

Many high-masking neurodivergent women spend years feeling exhausted by relationships and social expectations, wondering why interactions feel so draining or confusing. You may appear highly functional on the outside, but internally you often feel misunderstood, overstimulated, or uncertain why patterns keep repeating in your relationships. Therapy can be a space to slow down, understand your patterns, and begin building relationships that feel authentic and manageable.

Now offering emergency Intensive Couples Counseling! I work well with individuals and couples who are seeking to learn more holistic ways to address their emotional and relational challenges whether they be family of origin issues, trauma, chronic illness, anxiety, or depression.

Anger, anxiety, depression, shame, and challenges with self-identity are often rooted in unresolved trauma. When left unaddressed, trauma can deeply impact our relationships and family dynamics. As your therapist, my goal is to collaborate with you in managing trauma-related symptoms and moving toward a more meaningful, fulfilling life. I use a client-centered approach to create a safe and supportive space where unresolved emotions and reactions can be explored. I believe that the therapeutic relationship itself is just as important as the modality used because healing begins with trust, connection, and the freedom to be vulnerable.

A therapy-ready client recognizes a need for therapy. They are willing to collaborate and put in effort to learn more about their current problems, and also willing to work on themselves between sessions. Besides talk therapy, I offer some assignments for you to practice. Once issues and goals are identified, we prioritize them and collaborate on a treatment plan. If the plan needs adjustment(s), I trust the client to inform me, so we can adjust the plan and proceed. I firmly believe that listening is key to starting the process. Some people rarely feel heard and understood. Therapeutic rapport is thereby established quickly.

I work with adults from diverse cultural and personal backgrounds, including BIPOC individuals, immigrants, and those navigating identity, faith, or cultural transitions. You may be balancing personal needs with family, cultural, or spiritual expectations, which can feel heavy and confusing. You may feel in between, navigating cultures, responsibilities, or parts of who you are. In our culturally and spiritually informed work, we will explore your values, create space for complex emotions, and support you in feeling grounded and clear. You don’t have to choose between parts of yourself; you can hold them all.
