My ideal client is adjusting to a new ADHD, autism, or chronic illness diagnosis and needs support processing this change. They may face grief, stigma, or self-advocacy challenges and want a safe space to explore their needs without shame. Goals include self-compassion, adaptive strategies, and redefining life goals with their diagnosis in mind. They seek to move from uncertainty to empowerment, embracing their identity while building a fulfilling, sustainable life.
As a neurodiversity-affirming therapist, I help clients process diagnoses, navigate identity shifts, and build self-compassion. I focus on strengths while addressing executive dysfunction, sensory needs, and ableism. Offering practical tools, advocacy support, and a safe space to explore masking, grief, and self-acceptance on the path to thriving.
You're not alone. I understand how isolating it feels when the world isn't built for your brain or body. Whether you're exhausted from masking, frustrated by inaccessibility, or grieving missed support, your disability isn't a problem to fix. Let's find strategies that honor your unique needs, help you reclaim confidence, and thrive as your authentic self.

I enjoy that I can choose "eclectic", because the therapy that works best for you will be the one that we use. I use a client centered approach that encourages you to take an active role in the therapeutic process. In the first session, we will identify any concerns and goals for therapy and then work together to collaboratively create a treatment plan.
