You may be feeling like you don’t quite fit the pace of others — like there are steps to complete before you reach the starting line everyone else walked into freely. Maybe you carry exhaustion, anxiety, or grief — wondering how to feel more grounded, creative, or understood. If your identity, transitions, or neurodivergence have brought both gifts and challenges, I see you, and I believe you deserve more than coping; you deserve clarity, resilience, and self-connection. You deserve to feel safe and confident in your relationships, including the one with your own self.
Together, we’ll create a safe, relational space where your experiences are witnessed without judgment. I use a strength-based, holistic approach that draws from EMDR, IFS, mindfulness, somatic practices, art therapy, and psychoeducation. In our work, we’ll set achievable goals, explore creative expression, and build practices that help you move through life.
If you’re wondering whether therapy could feel different — kinder, more whole, more you — I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Having ADHD myself, I connect deeply with the need to be understood in this unique way. It would be a privilege to support you in reclaiming your creativity, knowing your strengths, and nurturing a deeper relationship with yourself.
