If you're a diagnosed autistic or ADHD teen, young adult, or adult, or wondering if you might be, and you're ready for a space where you can finally show up as your whole self, I'd be glad to walk alongside you. I also bring over a decade of experience supporting survivors of trauma, domestic violence, and child abuse, work that has deeply shaped how I understand safety, identity, and healing. Together, we'll make sense of a lifetime of masking, misdiagnosis, and feeling fundamentally 'off.
My approach is eclectic and neurodiversity-affirming, drawing from CBT, trauma-informed care, mindfulness, relational and strength-based therapy, and positive psychology, adapted to how your brain actually works rather than asking you to fit a mold. No single framework fits everyone, so we collaborate to find what resonates for you.
I work from a place of genuine warmth and curiosity. Whether we're untangling a new diagnosis, processing past trauma, or navigating relationships and family dynamics, my goal is for every client to feel truly seen, often for the first time, and to leave our work together with more self-understanding and more tools than they came in with.

I use an eclectic approach and meet the clients where they are at. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
