I specialize in supporting neurodivergent individuals and families—including those navigating Autism, ADHD, learning differences, or sensory sensitivities. Many clients feel overwhelmed or misunderstood and want a therapist who truly gets it. Combining lived experience with clinical expertise, I offer neurodivergent-affirming, strengths-based care to build resilience, improve relationships, and create a space to feel safe, supported, and seen.
I offer therapy that is affirming, practical, and tailored to how you think, feel, and grow. My approach is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based—rooted in neurodiversity-affirming principles and always free from judgment or shame. Together, we’ll find ways to move forward that make sense for your brain and your life.
I understand how exhausting it can be to feel misunderstood or like you have to mask who you are. You deserve a space where you're truly seen and supported. If you're ready for therapy that honors your experience and works with your brain, not against it—I'm here. Reach out when you're ready. You're not alone.
