You’ve spent so much energy trying to make a world that seems like it wasn’t built for your brain or body work for you. If you live with Autism, ADHD, OCD, chronic illness or pain, trauma, anxiety, or depression, you may feel drained by burnout, self-doubt, or the pressure to mask and “keep up.” Therapy should be a space where you can be yourself without fear of judgment, be understood, gain further insight, and take a breath. I offer neurodivergent-affirming support using mindfulness and acceptance-based strategies to ease overwhelm, heal from past harm, and help you build balance, confidence, and connections that truly fit you.
I’m a therapist who meets clients with authenticity, warmth, & acceptance. Informed by training in neurodivergence and chronic illness & disability counseling, I recognize that there’s no single “right” way to exist. My approach is holistic, goal-oriented and rooted in curiosity, openness, and respect for each person’s unique way of moving through the world.
I’d love to connect with you. If you’re wondering whether we’d be a good fit, I offer a free 15-minute video consultation—a low-pressure way to explore how I can support you. You’re also welcome to reach out by email or message through this site if you’d like more information. I’m here, and ready when you are!
