Let's Connect (737) 510-4707

You’ve been barely hanging on for so long... trying anything to reconnect with your partner(s), family, or friends, meet everyone's expectations, and fend off emotional burnout. Perhaps you’re navigating a neurodiverse relationship or carrying the weight of unprocessed trauma, and it feels overwhelming. You want to move forward but find yourself stuck... caught in patterns of sensory overstimulation or conflict in your relationships. You hope to break free from the cycle of frustration and self-doubt, feel like you're truly moving toward your goals, and create healthier relationships with yourself and others.

I help neurodiverse couples and individuals work with their brains instead of against them. With my specialized training in attachment, trauma, and neurodiverse populations, I can help you heal emotional wounds, break cycles of reactivity, and most importantly... enhance your empathy, communication, and connection with the most important people in your life.

Whether you feel frozen, lost, or alone… have a partner willing to join you here or not… or just don’t know what to do about the constant overstimulation, dysregulation, or fear that you are not good enough… You are NOT too sensitive. You are NOT too much. You are NOT too late. Reach out today and get started!

I tailor my approach to each client's specific needs but I tend to favor relationally-focused and trauma-informed treatment models like EFT, EMDR, and Narrative Therapy. Together, we'll examine how your attachment history and your life narrative can sometimes keep you trapped in negative cycles. Luckily, it doesn't have to stay that way. Let's rewrite the story of you!
