I work with ADHD and AuDHD couples and individuals to get you from surviving to actually thriving. Together, we unmask what's really happening beneath the surface, unburden you from the weight you were never meant to carry, and unbind you from the rules written for a different kind of mind so you can build a life that actually fits you. You were never meant to settle for "fine." Whether you're coming in as a couple or on your own, I take a collaborative, attachment-informed approach grounded in who you actually are under that mask. Together, we co-create a roadmap so you can live and love authentically.
My practice is LGBTQ+ and kink/BDSM-affirming, trauma-informed, and rooted in EFT and sex therapy to support connection, secure attachment, and intimacy for neurodivergent and neurotypical clients alike. I take a human-first approach, which means I show up with genuine curiosity about who you are and what you actually need.
They say research is me-search. That's why I love working with neurodiverse couples and individuals: because I am in this boat with you! Working with me means exploring and embracing your authentic self and the life that you actually want, not one sold to you by a system designed for someone else. I look forward to helping you find your way back to yourself.

Couples and relationships are my passion! I love working with neurodiverse populations to dive deeper into their connections with each other and understand the attachment issues that are at play in their dynamic. We work together to process those struggles and create lasting, positive change. The changes focus on communication, vulnerability, and love to break habits that aren't working anymore.

I typically utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy. This is an attachment based approach that we use to uncover how our attachments and interactions with others have created habits that we are stuck in to protect ourselves. These, then, get in the way of showing up for the people we truly care about in ways that benefit all people in the relationships.
