Helping Analytical and Neurodivergent Professionals Overcome Perfectionism, Burnout, and Social Disconnection. You’re successful in many ways but your life feels narrow, rigid, or overly focused on work. You may be highly driven, detail-oriented, and productive yet struggle to relax and maintain important relationships. Many of the clients I work with identify as neurodivergent, including those with traits of autism or obsessive personality patterns. Others don’t use those labels but recognize themselves in the pattern: high standards, strong focus, and a tendency to prioritize work over everything else.

I am a Child Specialist and Certified EMDR Therapist for all ages, children and adults. The more I learn about children the better I understand adults. Our past suffering affects how we live our lives as adults, interacting in relationship with others while managing what life throws at us. Children must learn how to be themselves while trying to fit in, earn good grades, and make their parents proud. They feel anxious, afraid of failure, rejection. Like us, their emotions affect how well they behave and do at school. My goal will be to deal with the cause, not just the symptoms, of why you call me.

Therapy for mental health can be made more inviting and less daunting by shifting the focus from a strictly "clinical" approach to one that is more interactive, creative, and partnership-based. Incorporating elements such as humor, art, and engaging tools can significantly lower anxiety and accelerate the development of trust. I promise not to just sit and say 'and how does that make you feel' for 50 minutes. We can absolutely do that, but we can also laugh, breathe, and find some sanity in the chaos.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.

When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.

How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
