As an LGBTQ+ neurodivergent therapist, I know it’s not easy living in a world that wasn’t built for you. Are you sick of being overlooked by doctors because you don’t match their outdated image of someone with ADHD, autism, OCD, or bipolar? Does your brain oscillate between overstimulated and understimulated? Are you tired of getting brushed off because you’re not struggling "enough,” but you’re still struggling with tasks like hygiene, grocery shopping, navigating the airport, or feeling lonely?
I specialize in therapy empowering neurodivergent people who don't fit the outdated, "traditional" picture of neurodivergence, including people of color, women, nonbinary, and trans individuals. Together, we create a therapeutic space that honors individuality, promotes resilience, and fosters growth in a safe, understanding environment.
You are worthy of the support and understanding you've spent your life looking for. You deserve flexibility, whether that's telehealth sessions or Dungeons & Dragons therapy. Together, we’ll help you better understand your needs, collaboratively identify and advocate for supports, and dismantle shame to help you thrive.
