I specialize in diagnosing and supporting Autism Spectrum Conditions and ADHD in adults across the lifespan and across the gender spectrum.
I have been working with children and adults for over 25 years, diagnosing and treating mental health issues. I believe there is a very large range of "normal" and we all struggle with life at times. My professional goal is to provide a safe atmosphere to identify and discuss stumbling blocks and guide others to a place where they can confidently be themselves, fulfill their potential and find joy.

It's good to virtually meet you! Have you ever felt outcast from those around you, or less than others based on the intersectionality of your identities and how you present yourself?

My practice is focused on helping unique individuals understand and accept themselves, manage anxiety and stress, and engage in healthy relationships. I support clients impacted by factors that not everyone understands - chronic illness, neurodivergence, religious trauma. Maybe you've wondered how others seem to make it through the day with ease while you're stuck on hard mode. Or you have an outwardly successful life with inward struggles no one would guess. You're caught in a loop of something that's not working - unfulfilling relationships, creative blocks, overanalyzing - and want to find a new approach.

A key to the effectiveness of therapy is the relationship itself; it's important to me that you feel accepted for exactly who you are at this moment. As your partner in change, I'm always looking beneath the surface to make meaning and connections. While helping you challenge unproductive thoughts and sharing tried and true techniques, I will help you process the experiences that have led to your current state so you can actively choose how to go forward on your journey, becoming the author of your own story. This way, you can become more resilient, better able to handle future challenges, and more prepared to rebound from setbacks.

One of the hardest parts of being neurodivergent is living in a world full of people who don’t get you.
