I am dedicated to providing expert therapy in the intersection of neurodivergence-affirming psychotherapy and trauma therapy.
I support neurodivergent teens and adults (and their families!) to understand themselves and create lives in which they can thrive!
I also support teens and adults who have experienced trauma including attachment trauma and neglect, abuse, narcissistic abuse and high-demand groups / cults.
Experienced in treating attachment trauma and dissociation using integrative and somatic trauma modalities.
No matter what you’ve been through, You are welcome here!
I use an integrative and relational, strengths-focused approach in my work along with powerful trauma therapy modalities such as attachment focused EMDR, Brainspotting, and IFS / partswork to heal past trauma and thrive in your present life. I have specialize in treating attachment trauma and dissociative disorders along with narcissistic abuse recovery.
