Therapy for Perfectionists, Super Couples, Neurodiverse Folks, and Anyone Tired of “Add to Cart” Coping: Ever catch yourself doom-scrolling and “adding to cart” when life gets overwhelming? You’re not alone. If you’re reading this, you’re probably a high-achieving individual or one half of a “super couple”—successful, driven, but sometimes feeling disconnected or misunderstood. Maybe you’re navigating the beautiful chaos of neurodiversity (ADHD, AuDHD, Autism Spectrum, or just your own unique wiring), wrestling with intimacy, or facing the pain of chronic sexual issues. If so, you’ve found your port in the storm
Therapy with me is efficient, pragmatic, and infused with humor (and, yes, the occasional “wirty dord” - sometimes only the fu(%ing real thing will do). I don’t do therapy-speak or labels. Instead, I offer a jargon-free, compassionate space where you’re heard. I honor every voice and every story, meeting you exactly where you are, neurospice and all.
Whether you need big results delivered in one weekend, focused weekly support, or just to feel less alone, I’m here. Come work with me in a sanctuary for help, growth, and understanding, with a bit of irreverent humor, in a world where discussing what you need (like sex) is taboo. No judgment, no labels-just real talk and real results. Just holler...
