Hi, I’m Jessica! I work with children, teens, and young adults who are navigating ADHD, Autism, and trauma. As an ADHDer myself, I understand how overwhelming it can be to feel misunderstood or unsupported. I’ve seen firsthand how the right approach can make a world of difference, which is why I’m passionate about helping neurodiverse individuals build confidence and resilience. I also work closely with parents to provide the guidance and tools needed to better support their children.

In therapy, I take a collaborative approach that allows your child to feel safe, understood, and empowered. We’ll focus on developing practical strategies to help them manage emotions, build stronger relationships, and develop a positive sense of self. For trauma recovery, I use Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) to support heeling.

Whether you’re a parent looking for help navigating the challenges of raising a neurodiverse child or a young adult wanting more confidence in everyday life, I’m here to help. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation with me today to discuss how we can work together to address your counseling needs!

I work with neurodivergent kids, teens, and young adults with ADHD, Autism, or AuDHD who often feel misunderstood at school, socially, or at home. I help them build self-awareness, regulate emotions, and navigate challenges in a way that honors their strengths. I also support parents in understanding their child's needs to create a home environment that fosters growth, connection, and confidence.
