I’m a neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed therapist who works with adults navigating burnout, relational trauma, life transitions, and identity shifts. I support autistic and ADHD clients, highly sensitive individuals, and those recovering from long-term masking and overfunctioning. I work in ways that respect sensory needs, energy limits, and communication differences. Therapy with me is about helping you understand yourself in context and create a life that is more sustainable and aligned with your values.
My approach emphasizes nervous system regulation, pacing, and practical support rather than pathologizing. I integrate attachment-informed care, DBT, ACT, and executive-function scaffolding to help clients reduce overwhelm, build self-trust, and live in ways that better fit how their brains and bodies actually work.
I identify proudly as a neurodivergent therapist. I may be a good fit for you if you are looking for therapy that adapts to your nervous system and prefer a steady, collaborative pace. If any of this resonates with you, please reach out. I look forward to partnering with you!

My approach emphasizes nervous system regulation, ethical pacing, and practical support rather than pathologizing or pushing clients beyond their capacity. I integrate attachment-informed care, ACT, DBT, and executive-function scaffolding to help clients reduce overwhelm, build self-trust, and live in ways that better fit their support needs and values.
