You’ve worked hard to hold it all together, but inside it feels exhausting. Maybe trauma, ADHD, or autism makes everyday life heavier than people around you realize. You want relief from the constant overthinking, the burnout, and the pressure to keep masking. My clients come to therapy wanting clarity, practical tools, and a safe place to be real. Together we uncover what’s underneath the mask so you can stop just surviving and start building a life that actually feels like yours.

I specialize in working with adults navigating trauma, ADHD, and autism—especially when they overlap. I offer a balance of compassion, directness, and practical strategies to help you feel less overwhelmed and more in control. Using approaches like Cognitive Processing Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, I tailor therapy to you.

Starting therapy isn’t easy, but you don’t have to do it alone. If you’re tired of masking, burned out, or simply ready for change, I’ll bring compassion, honesty, and tools that actually work. Together we can create a life that feels more authentic.

I work with clients who struggle with trauma, neurodivergence (AuDHD), emotional burnout, family estrangement, grief, and identity shifts. A typical treatment plan may involve building emotional regulation skills, processing traumatic experiences using CPT, improving executive functioning, exploring relationship patterns, and increasing self-compassion and clarity around needs and boundaries.
