Areas of Focus
Neurodivergent-Affirming Therapy
What is neurodivergent-affirming therapy? It's simple, it's an approach to therapy that embraces neurodiversity, recognizing that different brains function in unique and valid ways. Rather than pathologizing differences, I focus on self-acceptance, communication, and strengths-based strategies that align with how you naturally experience the world. I provide neurodivergent-affirming therapy for individuals, couples, and families, offering a supportive space where all identities, experiences, and ways of being are honored. In addition to the decade I've spent working professionally in the nonprofit sector with people with ASD, ADHD, PDA, and many different neurotypes in between, and my formalized training in ADHD, Autism, and Pathological Demand Avoidance; I also live with neurodivergence myself. These parts of me give me a unique social location to work from. Whether you’re neurodivergent, exploring your identity, or supporting a neurodivergent loved one, therapy can help foster understanding, reduce masking and burnout, and improve relationships. My practice is inclusive and trauma-informed, creating a space where you can feel truly seen, valued, and supported—exactly as you are.
Support for New Parents
Becoming a parent is a profound and life-changing experience, bringing both joy and significant challenges. Parenthood can reshape identities, shift relationship dynamics, and introduce new emotional and physical demands. As a parent who has personally navigated these challenges myself, I understand how layered and unexpected it can be. I provide a supportive space for new parents and caregivers to navigate the complexities of this transition, whether you're struggling with identity shifts, postpartum challenges, sleep deprivation, emotional overwhelm, or shifting relationship dynamics. My approach is compassionate, strengths-based, and tailored to your unique experience, helping you process these changes, improve communication, and build a strong foundation for both your well-being and your growing family.
Empowering Women
Women navigate unique challenges in their personal and professional lives, from identity and self-worth to relationships, career demands, and societal expectations. I provide a supportive and affirming space where women can explore their experiences, build confidence, and develop tools to overcome barriers. Whether you're facing life transitions, relationship struggles, self-doubt, burnout, or the complexities of having neurodivergence in a fast, business-paced environment; my approach is warm, understanding, strengths-based, trauma-informed, and tailored to your needs. I, too, have navigated these waters personally - as a woman, a fierce mother, a loving wife, a daughter to an aging parent, someone who is aging themself, a business professional and nonprofit leader, a grad student, an overachiever, an advocate, and so many feminine roles in between [and many simultaneously]. It's easy to get lost in all these callings, and it's hard to show up for everyone in these ways when you are struggling to show up for yourself. Together, we will work toward self-empowerment, emotional well-being, and creating a more authentic, fulfilling life on your terms.
Helping Teens through Transitions
The teen years are filled with change—emotionally, socially, physically, and academically. From navigating friendships and family dynamics to managing school stress and identity exploration, adolescence is a time of immense growth and challenge. Having worked for over three years at a local teen club, I bring a unique perspective to this work, understanding firsthand the complexities, pressures, and resilience that shape this stage of life. I specialize in working with teens ages 13–19, providing a nonjudgmental space where they can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Whether they’re struggling with anxiety, self-esteem, or the many transitions that come with growing up, therapy offers a place to feel heard, supported, and empowered as they navigate this transformative time.
