About

Have you ever identified as a "burnt-out gifted kid," been diagnosed with ADHD or Autism (or both!) as an adult, or described yourself as lazy and unmotivated? Do you find yourself grappling with shame of not being able to "keep up," whether it be with your peers at work or in school or simply in daily life tasks? If any of these apply to you, then I might be the right therapist for you. Neurodivergence and other mental health struggles can make you feel alone, helpless, and guilty for not being able to keep up with work, school, and home life. My goal is to bring clarity, compassion, and empowerment into your life and work.

My approach centers on compassion for all parts of ourselves and on building on strengths, rather than "defeating" weaknesses. As a neurodivergent person I have experienced the shortcomings of approaches like CBT for brains like mine, so I prioritize body-based and trauma-informed practices such as ACT, DBT, EFT, and IFS for couples and individuals.

If any of the above struggles resonate with you, I encourage you to reach out for a free consultation to determine if we would be a good fit. It can be difficult to find time for therapy during a busy work or school day, so I make a point to offer evening and weekend hours outside of the typical 9-5.
