Feeling stuck with therapy that doesn’t fit your ADHD or Autistic brain? You might feel overwhelmed, drained from masking, or frustrated with advice that misses the mark. I offer walk-and-talk therapy in nature, animal-assisted sessions, and telehealth—approaches that support movement, comfort, and connection. Using ART, DBT, and other practical tools, I tailor our work to your unique brain. Visit my website to learn how we can work together.
I work with ADHD and Autistic teens and adults—often navigating trauma, OCD, or anxiety alongside neurodivergence. Whether outdoors, online, or with my therapy dog, I use affirming, evidence-based approaches like DBT, ICBT, and ART to support executive function, emotional regulation, and self-trust—without shame or one-size-fits-all advice.
You’re not too much, and you don’t have to do this alone. Whether you’re facing burnout, intense emotions, or therapy that’s never quite fit, I’d be honored to walk alongside you (literally or virtually). My practice welcomes all families, identities, and ways of being with care, respect, and curiosity.
