I work with thoughtful, curious people who often feel like their brains operate a little differently than the world expects. Many are navigating ADHD, late diagnosed autism, giftedness, anxiety, high sensitivity, overwhelm, burnout, or relationship challenges. They may be exhausted from masking, overthinking, people-pleasing, or trying to keep up and want to better understand themselves, their strengths, and what they actually need to thrive. Others simply want a place to feel understood, reconnect with themselves, and create a life that fits who they are.
My approach is warm, strengths-based, and neuroaffirming. I help clients understand their unique brains and nervous systems, untangle patterns that may be keeping them stuck, and find practical ways to work with themselves rather than against themselves. I draw from Organic Intelligence, Polyvagal Theory, ACT, Attachment theory and CBT.
Therapy with me is warm, genuine, and collaborative. I want you to feel comfortable being fully yourself without judgment, pressure, or having to perform. We’ll talk honestly, laugh when it helps, and get curious about what’s really going on. If you’re looking for a therapist who will listen, understand, and work alongside you, I’d love to hear from you.
