I work with neurodivergent and chronically ill adults. If you're here, I'm guessing you're overwhelmed, frustrated, or straight up exhausted. Maybe you feel misunderstood and alone, and you want a therapist who actually gets it. You've come to the right place! As an autistic & disabled therapist, I strive to provide a safe and comfortable space in which you can explore the thoughts and feelings weighing you down without judgment. My approach is authentic - I want you to feel like you're talking to a real person. In turn, I won't ever ask you to change who you are, but instead, to live fully as the person you want to be.
My focus is in helping late-diagnosed/undiagnosed masked autistic adults, including queer & nonbinary folks, as they navigate relationships, life changes, and effects of trauma. I also work with clients dealing with the grief and anxiety that comes with chronic illness. Together, we'll break down harmful internalized narratives that may be holding you back.
No matter what brings you into therapy with me, rest assured that you will be seen, heard, and understood. If you feel we’d be a good match, please reach out by email whenever you’re ready. Note: All sessions are held virtually (Illinois residents only).

I work with neurodivergent clients struggling with anxiety, communication, and day-to-day functioning. We'll collaborate on the ideal level of structure/guidance (whether sessions serve as a space to verbally process or provide skills to utilize - usually a mix of both). With time, my clients often see an improvement in things like self-acceptance, relationship quality, and executive functions.

I approach therapy through a lens of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). We'll identify harmful internalized narratives that show up in how you perceive yourself and relate to others. With ACT, you can build an awareness of these narratives without giving them power. Through this, I'll help you reclaim that power in order to live more authentically as the kind of person you want to be.
