Are you the one who holds everything together—but inside, you feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or alone? Or maybe your relationship looks “fine” on the outside, but you keep having the same frustrating conversations that go nowhere. I specialize in working with neurodivergent individuals and couples who are ready for something deeper than surface-level coping. Whether you identify as ADHD, autistic, highly sensitive, or simply feel like your brain works differently, therapy with me is about understanding your wiring—not fixing you. This is true of neurodiverse persons as well as my neurotypical clients. We work on what works.
For individuals, we focus on untangling burnout, anxiety, masking, and the pressure to overperform. Together, we build practical tools that actually fit you, not the expectations of you, while also addressing the deeper emotional patterns shaped by past experiences. For couples, I help partners move out of miscommunication cycles and into real connection.
My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I don’t sit back silently—I engage with you, help you make sense of what’s happening, and guide you toward meaningful change. If you’re tired of feeling like you have to figure it all out on your own, therapy can be a place where things finally start to make sense. Reach out—I’d be honored to work with you.
