I provide neuro-affirming support for Autistic adults navigating a world not designed for them. My approach moves away from "compliance" and toward self-advocacy, sensory regulation, and honoring your unique brain wiring. Whether you are identify with the symptoms, are newly diagnosed, or have masked for years, I leverage my clinical experience to help you manage burnout, navigate transitions, and build a life that accommodates your needs rather than forcing you to disappear into the crowd.

I treat anxiety not just as a symptom, but as a physiological and emotional response to the pressures of modern life and caregiving. Drawing on my extensive clinical background, I help you move beyond "managing" panic or worry toward true nervous system regulation. We focus on strategic energy management and firm boundaries to stop the cycle of running on empty. You’ll gain a toolkit of evidence-based strategies to restore calm and reclaim control over your daily life.

I specialize in supporting those navigating the relentless demands of caregiving, whether for a child, an aging parent, or a loved one with complex needs. "Parenting" often extends into a lifelong role of advocacy and emotional labor that leads to profound burnout. Using my 20 years of clinical experience, I help you establish psychological boundaries and sustainable energy management. We will work to move you from exhaustion to a place where you can care for others without losing yourself.

I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help you stop the exhausting struggle of trying to "fix" or suppress difficult emotions. Rather than fighting anxiety or burnout, we build psychological flexibility—the ability to stay present and move toward what matters most, even in the face of discomfort. By identifying your core values and practicing mindfulness, you learn to observe your thoughts without being controlled by them, helping you live a life aligned with your true self.

I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy by moving beyond theory into practical, real-world application. I help you identify the cognitive distortions and "all-or-nothing" thinking patterns that fuel burnout and anxiety. We focus on the intersection of thoughts, behaviors, and outcomes, empowering you to disrupt reactive cycles. This structured approach allows us to build tangible coping skills that restore your energy and agency.

I use a Family Systems lens to help you understand your role within the broader "human ecosystem" of your life. Whether you are navigating complex family dynamics or the heavy responsibility of caregiving, your struggles don't exist in a vacuum. I help you identify inherited patterns and relational pressures that keep you stuck in reactive roles. By shifting these dynamics and establishing healthier boundaries, we create room for you to show up authentically without losing yourself to others.
