About My Clients

My areas of focus include late-diagnosed neurodivergence, burnout , people-pleasing, perfectionism, cultural and/or racial Identity, executive dysfunction, anxiety disorders, depression, life transitions, and highly sensitive persons (HSP).

My Background and Approach

My approach is neurodiversity-affirming and trauma informed. Maybe you’re neurodivergent, late-diagnosed, and simply trying to make sense of yourself and your experiences after a lifetime of feeling misunderstood. Maybe you’re navigating life transitions. Or maybe you're exploring your gender identity. Everyone brings a unique story. We’ll work together to understand the ways you’ve adapted, honor the strengths that helped you survive, gain a deeper understanding of who you are, and build a life that no longer depletes you.
