"It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences.” –   Audre Lorde

​

I am a neurodiversity-affirming therapist who seeks to create a safe and comfortable environment for individuals of all backgrounds, neurotypes, and identities. As a neurodivergent person myself, I appreciate that we are all vastly different people with varying needs, and I strongly believe in catering therapy sessions to each person's individual needs. I seek to make therapy a place where you can discover more about yourself, heal through past trauma, and create a future.
Many neurodivergent people, especially those who have gone most of their lives undiagnosed, have experienced trauma. Historically, neurodivergent people have been made to feel ashamed of the way our brains work and been told to change the way we naturally are. Therapy shouldn't be about changing who we are; it's about discovering and celebrating who we are. Offering a space to freely explore and validate those experiences is crucial in the healing process.
I utilize an integrated approach, and I specialize in neurodivergence (including suspected autism/ADHD and high-masking individuals), LGBTQ+ populations, trauma, attachment/relationships, and athletes/sports trauma and performance.
Seeking therapy can be a daunting experience. I would be honored to help make your therapy journey you-led. You're the captain of your ship; my role as a therapist is to help you navigate the seas.
