Neurodiversity-affirming therapy through a compassionate trauma-sensitive lens that honors nervous system differences, relational wounding, and the protective parts we carry.
“What is happening in your innermost self is worthy of your entire love; somehow you must find a way to work at it.”
-Rainer Maria Rilke
Welcome!
I offer neurodiversity-affirming therapy for adults who identify as gifted, autistic, ADHD, highly sensitive or are moving through the impacts of relational trauma, anxiety, depression, burnout, or chronic stress.
Much of what I support my clients with such as the emotional intensity, high internal pressure, and the quiet toll of long-term overwhelm also resonates with me on a personal level. This lived understanding, alongside years of clinical experience, shapes the way I work: attuned, compassionate, and deeply respectful of the nervous system and cognitive diversity.
“Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.”

You might be here because..
– You’ve spent years blending in, masking, or overcompensating—and now you’re not sure who you are underneath it all.
– Your brain never stops buzzing. You’re tired of being “high-functioning” if it means constantly feeling overwhelmed.
– Relationships feel confusing. You either over-attach or shut down, and you’re craving something more stable and self-assured.
– You’re always trying to do things “right,” but perfectionism is running the show—and you’re quietly burning out.
Good therapy doesn’t push you to work harder. It helps you soften into who you already are.

About Me
I specialize in working with women navigating ADHD, autism, anxiety, and the hidden emotional labor of being “the strong one.”
My work is trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming, and attachment-focused. That means I honor your wiring, your story, and your pace. Therapy with me is collaborative, curious, and never about fixing you—only making space for who you are beneath the coping strategies.
What I Offer
-
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy for women navigating ADHD or autism (diagnosed or self-identifying).
-
Support
Support for anxiety, burnout, and perfectionism.
-
Relational Therapy
Attachment and relational healing for adults wanting deeper connection—with others and themselves.
You don’t have to explain or justify why things feel hard. You don’t have to perform, mask, or make sense of it all alone.
If any of this resonates, I’d love to hold space for you.
