Are you longing for a more meaningful existence that actually aligns with your wiring? I support neurodivergent individuals (ADHDers, Autistic folks, AuDHDers, and HSPs) through an affirming approach rooted in curiosity, creativity, and neuroscience. I work with people navigating transitions, processing trauma, moving through grief & loss, or yearning to understand their emotions and body sensations more fully. You get to decide what matters to you as you balance your time, energy, and attention (precious, finite resources). Therapy is a collaborative process, and I deeply enjoy working with people who are committed to their growth.
My work stems from the understanding that our minds & bodies are intertwined and that we must foster a symbiotic relationship between them. As a nature-based therapist, I offer 1-on-1 therapy as well as longer, focused therapy intensives. I am trained in EMDR - an incredibly impactful, evidence based technique for working with trauma.
I acknowledge the vulnerability and intentionality it takes to ask for help. I am committed to cultivating a gentle space where you can be your full self and receive personalized, nonjudgmental guidance and care. Please feel free to reach out if you are interested in working together or if you have any questions about my approach. I am excited to meet you!

The beauty of therapy: "One gift of nonjudgmental, agendaless presence is that a wide road of acceptance opens, so that the inner world of our people gradually begins to sense, experience and trust that every part is equally valued and equally welcome." -Bonnie Badenoch, The Heart of Trauma: Healing the Embodied Brain in the Context of Relationships
