I've spent most of my life learning to translate between two worlds—and that's exactly what I help my clients do. I work with neurodivergent children, teens, and adults navigating life with autism, ADHD, or OCD. Many come in feeling like they've been misread their whole lives—too much, too sensitive, too scattered, too something. What I know from the inside out is that the problem was never you. It was the mismatch between who you are and a world that wasn't designed with you in mind. With over 10 years of community-based experience—including 5 years dedicated specifically to neurodivergent youth, I bring real clinical depth.
My approach is casual, collaborative, and expressive-arts friendly. Therapy here doesn't have to look like talking — it can look like drawing, exploring a special interest, or just being. I draw from DBT and the latest evidence-based tools to help build self-confidence, social skills, and the ability to sit with life's grey areas.
We are all doing our best — and we try to do better every day. If you're looking for a space that truly fits the way you or your child moves through the world, I'd love to be part of building that together. You don't have to fit the mold here.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy challenges black-and-white thinking by encouraging comfort in the "grey" areas. We are doing our best AND we try to do better every day. Often, past behaviors and thought patterns follow us into adulthood, where they no longer serve us or may even hinder us. After identifying your goals, we will work on reframing cognitive distortions and building coping skills.
