Are you feeling overwhelmed trying to meet everyone's expectations while masking who you really are? Whether you're a parent of a neurodivergent child, an adult navigating ADHD or Autism, or someone exploring your identity and relationships, you're not alone. I specialize in helping people like you find clarity, self-compassion, and practical tools to thrive.

In our work together, I offer a neurodiverse-affirming, LGBTQ+-Affirming, & anti-shame approach. I support children, teens, adults, & parents who are exhausted by daily life demands, sensory overload, or the invisible labor of fitting in. I also provide gender-affirming care for individuals navigating transitions or seeking support in being fully themselves.

My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, respected, and understood- not just as a checklist of diagnoses, but as a whole person. Therapy with me is collaborativve, compassionate, and tailored to your unique wiring and life experience. Let's work together to uncover what's getting in your way- and build a life that works for you, not against you.

In your first session, we will explore how to work together to tether the healing process and deconstruct what brings you to therapy. Together we will develop clear, specific, goals that help you measure progress towards feeling at your best again. I use a combination of DBT and SFT but may coin other approaches as needed.
