ADHD, Autism, Gifted, Pathological Demand Avoidance? I work with people and families sorting through the roots of their emotional challenges. I am passionate about exploring the impacts of neurodivergence while healing trauma. I deeply understand the intersection of neurodiversity, disability and therapy to compassionately provide effective help to people who might not see results from typical therapy.

In therapy we can explore experiences that have shaped the way you relate to yourself and others. Then reimagine, practice and embody behavior that aligns best with your values in the present moment. This model works for parents and kids alike. Experiential therapy can be an effective method for treating Autism, ADHD and pathological demand avoidance.

If you need a therapist who understands the neurodivergent challenges that affect kids, adults, and their parents, I am here to support you. I hold an anti oppression, affirming space. I am AuDHD and part of the LGBTQ+ community. Reach out today with a call or email!

I wrote my thesis on attachment and Pathological Demand Avoidance in Adult Romantic Relationships. It explored how PDA differentiates and intertwines with attachment. I cited evidence supporting PDA organized as an Autonomy threat response system, much like the widely accepted attachment system.
