Do you often feel misunderstood, overwhelmed, or like you're constantly trying to fit into a world that wasn’t designed for your brain? Maybe you're navigating a late diagnosis of ADHD or autism, struggling with executive dysfunction, or feeling burnt out from masking and trying to “keep up.” I get it because I’ve lived it too. As a neurodivergent therapist, I understand what it’s like to feel out of sync in a neurotypical world. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about helping you reconnect with your strengths, build practical tools, and create a life that works for your brain, not against it.
I offer neurodivergent-affirming therapy using a flexible, strengths-based approach. I also provide ADHD/autism assessments (formal and informal) to support clients seeking clarity and diagnosis and help clients improve emotional regulation, focus, self-advocacy, and career fulfillment.
If you’re looking for a therapist who truly understands what it’s like to live with a neurodivergent brain and who can help you thrive because of it, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Let’s build a life that feels authentic, empowered, and sustainable. Schedule your free consultation with me today! (Supervised by Mark Cagle).
