You perform at a high level, but inside you feel tense, stuck, or on edge. Habits that used to work now leave you exhausted. Thinking harder isn’t changing anything. Many of the people I work with are neurodivergent (Autistic, ADHD, high-masking), operating in high-pressure environments, or trying to hold relationships together under stress. You want relief. More flexibility. The ability to respond differently without losing your edge. I help individuals, couples, and teens notice patterns as they happen, regulate stress and emotion, and practice real ways to respond differently.
The work is practical and tailored to how your brain and nervous system actually operate. This often includes work around compulsive behaviors, addiction, betrayal, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Not as labels, but as patterns we can understand and shift.
Feeling trapped in the same loops is exhausting. You’re not broken. There’s a way to slow things down, understand what’s happening in your system, and build responses that actually fit you. If this feels familiar, we can see if it’s a good fit.

I offer sliding scale fees, which means I adjust my rates based on your financial situation to make therapy more accessible. While I don't take insurance directly, many clients use their out-of-network benefits for reimbursement, and I provide all necessary paperwork for claims.
