You’re used to holding it all together. Whether you’re navigating chronic illness, recovering from burnout, or simply trying to be everything for everyone — you're exhausted, and you deserve a space to be supported instead of performing. My clients are often high-functioning, insightful, and deeply compassionate — but struggling with perfectionism, people-pleasing, and a harsh inner critic.

Many of my clients carry grief — for the version of themselves they once were, for the relationships that haven’t worked, or for the life they imagined before illness or trauma interrupted it. As a neurodivergent therapist, I offer an affirming, non-pathologizing approach that honors your wiring and supports your nervous system, not just your symptoms.

We’ll explore how your early experiences shaped your identity and patterns, build boundaries that reflect your values, and help you reconnect with your needs — even the ones you’ve long neglected. You don’t have to prove you're struggling "enough" to deserve care. You are already worthy of rest, reflection, and healing.
