You're a thoughtful, curious person navigating life as a gifted, autistic, AuDHD, or twice-exceptional teen or adult. You might recognize yourself in the exhausting loop of perfectionism - holding yourself to impossible standards while doubting whether you're doing enough. You might struggle to reconcile your complexity with self-compassion. You're looking for a therapist who meets you where you are, understands neurodivergence and complex trauma, and can explore your experience with genuine curiosity.
I provide neurodivergent-affirming therapy for teens and adults. As an autistic person. I have worked to become the therapist I needed when I was younger. We'll use safe experiments (collaborative explorations where we test new approaches without pressure) to navigate stuck patterns, deepen self-awareness, and build from your actual strengths.
Your depth and complexity deserve to be understood. Therapy is a space to explore what matters most to you, experiment with no pressure to get it "right", and move toward greater clarity and connection. If you’re ready to take the next steps, let’s begin - at your pace, together.

I specialize in autism (dismantling neuronormativity, not "fixing" you), complex trauma (integration without pathologizing survival), and giftedness (navigating a world built for different cognitive wiring). Treatment means building self-understanding and self-fairness - not symptom management, but reclaiming how you actually work.

Therapy with me works through three pathways - relational safety, cognitive disruption, and psychodynamic excavation - toward one goal: self-fairness. Not just self-kindness — accurate self-assessment with full context. Your adaptations are expertise, not symptoms. Sessions operate on genuine ongoing consent; resistance is honored, not overcome. You set the pace and depth.
