Great to meet you!

I work from a non-judgmental and compassionate approach. I offer both talk therapy as well as somatic deep brain-based processing work. I am up to date with the latest science when it comes to working with trauma and neurodiversity. I see myself more as your professional collaborator. My job is to ask good questions. I like to incorporate humor into my sessions when appropriate. I am also a big fan of metaphors in the therapy room. When I do give advice, I give it based on psychoeducation and what I know about you as a person and your values.

My approach to therapy

I work with adults and teens who struggle with neurodiversity (ADHD, autism) and complex trauma. In her sessions, she uses a unique talk therapy approach as well as deep brain-based work. The talk therapy part breaks down many problems that are influenced by societal/cultural pressures while the somatic work helps heal trauma, attachment wounds, and performance issues.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we'll focus on getting to know each other and understanding what brings you to therapy. I'll ask questions about your current challenges, strengths, and goals so we can create a plan that feels meaningful and tailored to your needs. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and neurodiversity-affirming space where you feel comfortable being yourself.
