Welcome! I'm a neurodiversity-affirming therapist who specializes in working with autistic adults, ADHDers, or those that suspect they are neurodivergent. Are you struggling with anxiety, shame, guilt, emotional regulation, trauma, and/or depression. Do you feel like you are wearing a mask? Or feeling like you don't know who you are? Together, we will identify your strengths and areas you want to improve.
I work every day at being a better ally. We will work together to understand & accept you for you. You will improve your coping skills, your self care, and your self compassion. We will work together in a secure, non-judgmental space for you to explore and process your thoughts and feelings.I know that looking for a therapist can be stressful.
When change happens, even good change, it can be stressful. I enjoy working with people from a variety of ages, cultures, labels, and sexual orientations. I will do this in a way that is respectful, validating, and affirming. If you're ready to start your journey to self-acceptance. I encourage you to reach out to me.

I'm a neurodiversity-affirming therapist who specializes in working with people with autism, ADHD, and other differences. I believe that neurodiversity is a natural part of the human experience. I don't see neurodivergence as a disorder or a problem that needs to be fixed. Instead, I see it as a unique set of strengths and abilities that can be celebrated and nurtured.
