My approach is practical, collaborative, and grounded. I aim to create a space where you don’t have to mask or perform—where you can think clearly, feel understood, and start building a life that feels more manageable and more like your own. If you’re looking for therapy that understands ADHD or autism and also makes room for the bigger picture of who you are and where you’re going, I’d be glad to connect.
I specialize in working with neurodivergent adults, including ADHD and autism. Therapy is not about “fixing” you—it’s about understanding how your brain works, reducing shame, and building ways of living that are actually sustainable.
Many of the people I work with are ADHD or autistic adults who feel overwhelmed, burned out, or like they’ve spent years trying to keep up with systems that don’t fit how their brain works. Click the website link to make an account and book an intake. I offer free therapy consultations and work evenings. Contact me about professional consults as well.
