About My Clients

I work with children who can participate in telehealth, teens, adults, and parents navigating a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges. I specialize in supporting neurodivergent individuals and families experiencing autism, ADHD, anxiety, overwhelm, emotional regulation difficulties, and life transitions. I also work closely with parents and co-parents who are navigating the unique challenges of raising neurodivergent children. Whether you’re looking for support with par

My Background and Approach

My approach is relational, trauma-informed, collaborative, and neurodiversity-affirming. Rather than focusing only on changing behaviors or trying to “fix” a person, I believe in looking deeper and asking, “What’s underneath this?” Together, we’ll explore your experiences, understand your needs, and develop practical strategies that fit your life. I strive to make therapy warm, genuine, and judgment-free. My clinical training, combined with my lived experience as a neurodivergent therapist and parent of autistic children, allows me to bring both professional expertise and personal understanding into the therapeutic relationship. I believe therapy can be meaningful and productive while still leaving room for authenticity, connection, and even a little laughter.
