Forest Floor Therapy is a neurodivergent and identity affirming therapy practice for adults navigating ADHD, autism, anxiety, burnout, and life transitions. At a time when the weight of the world is so heavy, the Forest Floor offers us a space of stillness to slow down, take deep breaths, be seen, feel heard, and reconnect. I am also trained in WPATH Standards of Care and comfortable writing letters of support for those seeking identity affirming medical care.

I’m active and engaged in sessions. You can expect warmth, curiosity, and honesty, not a blank stare or a clipboard. Sometimes therapy here looks like slowing down and grounding. Sometimes it looks like learning new skills. Sometimes it looks like gently challenging old beliefs that no longer serve you. There’s room for humor, swearing, pauses, and figuring things out in real time.

I use an integrated approach to therapy rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), while also working relationally and somatically. That means we focus on both insight and skills, what’s happening in your thoughts, emotions, body, and relationships, and how to work with all of it more gently and effectively.

In practice, we’ll build awareness of patterns without judgment, work on emotional regulation and coping skills that actually fit your nervous system, explore values, meaning, and what feels authentic to you, we’ll pay attention to the body to notice stress responses, shutdown, tension, and relief, and we’ll name what’s happening between us in the room when it feels helpful.

Above all, therapy here is collaborative. You’re the expert on your experience. My role is to help you understand yourself more clearly, develop tools that support you, and move toward a life that feels more aligned and livable.
