Is your screen & tech use problematic? Are you struggling with emotions and life circumstances? Are you gifted, autistic or an AuDHD-er? I'm a clinician whose writing on tech-era concerns is found in academic journals and professional counseling texts, and I bring this demonstrated, specialist expertise directly to our sessions. Together we'll use depth & insight work to get to the root of what's causing your distress, and we'll employ neurodiverse-affirming, science-backed skills, tools & interventions to support meaningful change.

We’re a great fit if you're gifted, autistic, or an AuDHD-er. We're an equally great fit if your screen use is problematic or addictive (like social media, gaming, apps, porn, AI, or online spaces). "Adulting" may be difficult, or you may feel out of step w/ school, work, relationships, or selfhood (like men's issues, status & success, or finding yourself).

I have a strong track record with teens (16+), young adults & adults who meet some or all of my specialist focus areas (like tech use, neurodiversity/neurodivergence or giftedness), and I pride myself upon being a comprehensive clinician who is equipped to support your unique concerns. Feel free to reach out when you're ready: I look forward to meeting you.

Our work together is virtual. Especially for internet use support, this could be an under-appreciated advantage. From day one, you'll cement new habits for healthy tech use (like using the internet for virtual therapy) while we help you shift the habits, cues and behaviors that make your tech use problematic or under-controlled.
