Are you an autistic or ADHD adult who’s spent years feeling “weird,” too much, or out of sync with others? Many of my clients are bright, thoughtful people who’ve learned to mask, overthink, or push through burnout just to keep up. You don’t need to be fixed — you need support that understands how your brain actually works. Most people come to therapy because they’re exhausted. They want relief from anxiety and shutdown cycles, fewer relationship misunderstandings, less shame, and a way to function without constant burnout. They want to unmask safely, trust themselves, and build a life that feels sustainable — not performative.
I specialize in autistic and ADHD adults navigating complex PTSD, anxiety, and relationship challenges. Using CBT and DBT for regulation, Brainspotting and hypnosis for trauma, and the Gottman Method for couples, I provide neurodivergent-affirming therapy that reduces shame, supports unmasking, and builds practical tools for sustainable change.
If you’re tired of feeling “too much” or out of sync, therapy can be a space where you’re truly seen and understood. You deserve support that honors your intensity and experiences. When you’re ready for a steady, affirming space, I invite you to reach out.
