You're doing your best to get through each day, but keep feeling pulled down by stress and despair in relationships, at work, and in managing daily tasks. You're craving relief, a breath of fresh air, but feel like each time things get a little better, you're knocked over by yet another wave.

You tell yourself that you just have to try harder, be different—but keep finding yourself burnt out and overwhelmed.

You want to be able to meet challenges calmly and confidently instead of struggling against the current.

I can imagine:

You're here because you're struggling to stay afloat.

  • Parenting a neurodivergent child

  • Managing anxiety and the endless “what-if” questions

  • Building a life that feels meaningful

  • Losing touch with your true self after years of masking your neurodivergence

  • Autistic burnout

  • Executive functioning challenges

well, you’re in the right spot.

Compassionate, Neuroaffirming Support for All Ages

I strive to create a compassionate, neuroaffirming space where children, teens, and adults can explore their emotions, challenges, and strengths. My specialties include working with autistic and ADHD clients and their loved ones, as well as supporting people experiencing anxiety, OCD, trauma, depression, autistic burnout, and gender identity exploration. Drawing from approaches like ACT, DBT, narrative therapy, mindfulness, play, and art therapy, I tailor my work to each client’s needs. With a background in counseling, disability advocacy, and leading neurodivergent support groups, I am passionate about helping clients connect with their authentic selves and make lasting change.
