I'm an LMFT in Los Angeles who specializes in ADHD, autism, and AuDHD in teens, young adults, and men. I also work with late-diagnosed people starting to make sense of why life has always felt harder than it should. Either way, you’re probably functioning at a cost no one sees. That effort accumulates into burnout and relentless self-criticism, which leaves you spinning in negative thoughts. If constantly analyzing the patterns was enough to change them, you'd have moved on by now. I specifically help overwhelmed and stuck clients whose neurodivergence and shame are entangled in ways standard therapy tends to miss.
Sessions are collaborative and paced so you don't have to brace or perform. When you overthink, shut down, or people-please, we slow the moment down and work out what's happening beneath the coping. I draw from compassion-focused therapy, Brainspotting, and IFS-informed parts work, adapted for how neurodivergent minds and bodies actually process and change.
Many people feel relief early on because they don't have to convince me their experience makes sense. If you've spent years feeling misaligned with systems, peers, and even yourself — reach out to schedule a 15-minute consultation. I’ll point you in the right direction.
