I offer neurodivergent- and body-affirming therapy, specializing in burnout and relational trauma. I often work with helping professionals and neurodivergent adults to heal from complex trauma and reconnect with their bodies. My clients often describe feeling exhausted from caring for everyone else, stuck in burnout, or weighed down by patterns of shame and self-doubt. I integrate modalities such as ACT, Brainspotting, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to support nervous system regulation and self-trust. My goal is to help you move from survival mode toward a more grounded, authentic, and sustainable way of being.
I offer a space where you can exhale, be fully yourself, and explore what healing looks like without pressure or judgment. My approach is collaborative, intuitive, and rooted in curiosity. This is a space to safely explore your emotions, body, and inner world.
