About Me

Do you feel like life is an unending slog of things you have to do that you don’t want to and will never enjoy? Does life feel isolating, depressing, and anxious? Do you feel as if you have to hide your authentic behaviors, thoughts, and feelings from the world in order to fit into the community? Exhausted from the work that you have to do to "follow the rules”? Feel like you should be able to carry the same load as everyone around you when you are beyond the ability to act? You aren’t misunderstanding the world; you’re living in a world that wasn’t built for you.
My focus is working with neurodivergent adults and those who think they might be neurodivergent. I offer an affirming space where I honor differences. We’ll work to discover your strengths, create self-compassion, and build self-advocacy skills. I use a trauma-informed approach and EMDR to help process painful past memories and build a meaningful future.

Every human being possesses inherent worth and dignity. Living in a world that feels hostile to you can make you believe that this isn’t true. But you deserve a life lived according to your authentic needs and values. If any of this resonates with you, please reach out for a free consultation. Let’s see if we’re a good fit.
