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.

I SUPPORT AUTISTIC AND ADHD CLIENTS, THEIR FAMILIES, AND THOSE NAVIGATING ANXIETY, OCD, TRAUMA, DEPRESSION, BURNOUT, OR GENDER IDENTITY EXPLORATION. USING ACT, DBT, MINDFULNESS, PLAY, AND ART, I HELP PEOPLE CONNECT WITH THEIR AUTHENTIC SELVES AND CREATE LASTING CHANGE. TOGETHER, WE BUILD STRENGTH AND BALANCE.
