My website
Waitlist as of 06/2026. I work with neurodiverse adults who are seeking a deeper understanding of themselves, whether newly exploring an identity of Autism/ADHD, or formally diagnosed in childhood. Many of my clients come to therapy after years of masking, burnout, or feeling unseen in spaces not built with neurodivergents in mind. My practice centers neurodivergent-affirming care that embraces your unique wiring rather than trying to change it. I also honor the intersections of womanhood, queerness, gender identity, and cultural background, creating space to explore the complexities of who you are with compassion and authenticity.
My approach is psychodynamic, person-centered, and strengths-based. I integrate a neurodivergent-affirming framework to create a safe, supportive, validating environment to explore your inner world, gain clarity, and build self-acceptance. Together, we'll focus on insight, empowerment, and learning new ways to navigate life with greater ease.
Starting therapy can be challenging, especially when you hold many identities that shape how you experience the world. I offer an affirming, non-judgmental space where you can feel seen in your full humanity and begin creating meaningful change at your own pace. Please reach out if you want to determine whether we are a good fit for therapy!
