Hi there neuro-spicy people! I’m so glad you’re here!

Maybe you’ve recently been diagnosed with ADHD or autism, maybe you’ve had a diagnosis since you were a kid, or maybe you’re not sure if you even fit into a diagnostic “box” but have always felt like your brain works differently. Wherever you are on your journey, your neurodivergent brain is welcome here!

When you’re neurodivergent, you know the struggle of trying to survive in a world and a culture that wasn’t designed with your brain in mind. Maybe the coping skills you developed felt like they were “working” for a while. But over time, the burnout cycles are starting to get to you, and the masking and overcompensating aren’t cutting it anymore. You’re ready for something different. You’re ready to break free of the patterns of anxiety, shame, and ignoring the things you’re body seems to be screaming at you.

You’ve come to the right place! As an ADHDer myself, I can relate. Although there are challenges that come with being neurodivergent that may never “go away,” you don’t have to keep living your life by society’s rulebook. I want to help you figure out how to live your life in a way that’s more aligned with YOUR values, and stop buying into the negative messages about yourself that you’ve internalized.

I have specialized training, clinical experience, and/or lived experience working with the following:

• Autism, ADHD, AuDHD

• “High functioning” neurodivergent women

• Neurodivergent people struggling with OCD and/or anxiety

• Trauma/chronic stress related to neurodivergence

• Executive functioning coaching

• Challenges with friendships, dating, and/or relationships

• Excessive guilt, shame, negative perception of yourself

When working with me, your experience in therapy to be…

• Neuro-affirming, empowering and anti-oppressive

• Focused on your personal goals and values

• Relational, as if your therapist is an actual human being! (Gasp!)

• Individualized, with you personality, special interests, and communication style in mind

• A place where you feel safe to unmask and be yourself

My style incorporates the following therapeutic approaches:

• Interpersonal neurobiology: Aka informed by science about the brain and nervous system.

• Humanistic/client-centered therapy: Aka the relationship is central and I trust that you know yourself best.

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT: We’ll identify what your values are, and figure out how to align your life more with those values.

• Parts work/Internal Family Systems: You’ll learn how to interact with all the different parts of yourself, even when they seem in conflict with one another at times.

• Expressive arts/play therapy: Not just for kids! Adults need ways to symbolically express themselves too! (This is optional, it’s ok if it’s not for you!)

• Somatic/body-based therapy: Feelings are felt in our bodies. Unfortunately, feeling the hard ones is an essential part of the process. (Don’t shoot the messenger).

• Humor! (Well, at least I think I’m funny…)

If you think I might be the therapist for you, I would love to hear form you!

I offer a FREE 10 minute consultation (yes, you heard that, absolutely FREE!) This is a short video meet-and-greet where you can see my actual face, ask me questions, and where we can both get a better sense about whether or not we might be a good fit.
