I get it: living with OCD or being neurodivergent (or both!) can feel like a constant balancing act. Maybe you’re exhausted from masking, stuck in cycles of overthinking, or feeling overwhelmed by the weight of perfectionism. Whatever it is, I’m here to offer a space that’s free of judgment, full of understanding, and tailored just for you.
I specialize in helping individuals with OCD and neurodivergence navigate life’s challenges while embracing their true selves. Therapy with me is anything but cookie-cutter—I bring a laid-back, relatable approach that prioritizes understanding your unique experiences and helping you build tools that work for your brain.
