You’re feeling burnt out & overwhelmed. You want to create a sustainable life for yourself but aren’t sure where to start. You crave feeling calm and grounded when the world around you feels chaotic. You’ve been so dysregulated it feels like all your energy is going into survival. You want to be connected with your authentic self, but you’ve been people pleasing for so long you don’t know how to honor your own needs. You’re tired of saying yes when you wish you could say no, and want to cultivate the confidence and inner strength it takes to set boundaries. You’re worried it’ll never get any easier & want someone who really gets it.
Whether you're looking to explore your neurodivergence (like autism or ADHD), find support related to chronic illness, or process pandemic stress, I'm here for you. We can work together to help you self regulate, build self compassion, and advocate for your needs. I use a strengths-based approach to build a life that works for you, on your terms.
Searching for a therapist can bring up a lot of emotions, so I want to congratulate you on taking this first step and honor the courage it takes to start. I welcome you to reach out to me for a free consultation so I can learn about your needs and see if we'd be a good fit. I also offer adult autism assessments, feel free to reach out to learn more.
