For some reason, you just don’t function like everyone else does. You're anxious when there’s a break from your usual routine. People often have to tell you things multiple times before you understand them. You feel overwhelmed in crowds or anywhere with too much sensory stimulation. Maybe schoolwork comes easily to you, but social interactions are confusing. Neurodiversity is a good thing, and everyone’s brain is wired differently. But it’s hard to fit into a world that isn’t made for people with brains like yours. Sometimes, you think about how easy life would be if you could just be “normal.”
As a neurodivergent therapist, I can help you and your family navigate the challenges of daily life. In therapy, we’ll build the social, emotional, and mental skills you need to function as your best self. Learn to thrive, even in a world where you may feel like you don't belong. Because you DO belong – you’re valid and worthy and deserve a good life!
Understanding and befriending your brain and nervous system can be challenging. It takes time, courage, and commitment, and I’m here to help you every step of the way. Using tools like movement, music, breathing, and mindful awareness, you’ll develop the resilience to face any obstacle. Call or email now for your free consultation, and let’s get started!

I enjoy working with neurodivergent children, youth, and adults, who frequently experience mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. If you are neurodivergent, know that I will affirm who you are, and never expect you to change who you are. But I will work with you to figure out what you may want to change about your life, and support you in identifying effective strategies to do so.

I use a systems lens to approach all my therapy clients: understanding that we are shaped by our families and other social systems we grow up in. But as my client, you will be the main focus: what are your goals? what obstacles are getting in the way? I always aim to explain any therapeutic technique so you understand why we're doing it, and we'll go at a pace that feels safe for you!
