Do your feelings feel huge and confusing, like you're supposed to "have it together", but you're overwhelmed inside? Maybe you're autistic, ADHD, queer, trans, or questioning, exhausted from masking and meeting everyone else's expectations. In my Pittsford art therapy office and online across New York, I support neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ folx who want to understand their brains, set boundaries, and build relationships where they can be fully themselves. Together we gently unmask, explore your identities, and create a life that actually fits your values.
I show up as a collaborator and guide, not an expert with all the answers. Using art therapy and talk therapy, we slow down your nervous system, name big feelings, and explore patterns around masking, burnout, and relationships. If words feel hard, images and symbols can say what you can't yet.
If you're queer, questioning or neurodivergent and have been told you're "too sensitive" or "too much," you deserve a place that fits you instead of asking you to shrink. In our work, we'll practice self-compassion, build coping skills that honor your brain, and use art as a gentle way to process. If this resonates, I'd be honored to hear from you.

I work with people who feel "othered" because of identity, neurodivergence, or past experiences—especially queer and autistic adults navigating anxiety, burnout, and transitions. Together we clarify your values, set realistic goals, and practice new ways of relating to yourself and others. You'll leave with coping tools and self-care practices tailored to your strengths and sensory needs.

Our work together blends ACT, CBT, attachment-based, person-centered, and trauma-informed care with art making and other expressive arts.
