If you are a woman who is sensitive or neurodivergent (ADHD, ASD, or SPD) and want to work with a therapist who truly understands, I'm the right therapist for you. Have you been feeling overstimulated, overloaded, and overwhelmed? Have you felt misunderstood and unsupported? Have you had trouble with your executive functioning? I'd bet you've been through adverse childhood experiences that have continued to affect you. You're not alone. You just need a therapist who gets it and has the right tools to help you thrive.
I'm a neurodivergent mother of 2 who has been through her fair share of struggles, has personally experienced various therapies, and have found what truly helps neurodivergent women find connection, peace, and self love. I have over 16 years of experience helping adults and children heal from anxiety, trauma, and ableism.
My goal is to equip you with the right tools/accommodations, increase self-understanding, and clear any barriers so that you can live a fulfilling life. I have helped many neurodivergent women transform their lives and would like that for you, too. For more information, schedule a free consultation! I look forward to meeting you.
