Always feeling inadequate from your drive to be perfect? Perfectionism comes with feeling uneasy when making mistakes, high expectations, self-criticism, and good enough is unacceptable. Thinking that being perfect will lead to a happier life usually lends to finding an unfulfilled life. Growth transpires when you let go of holding yourself to the unattainable standards. I specialize in helping clients starting at age 8 to adult struggling with perfectionism, anxiety, Autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, spirituality development, behavioral issues, LGBTQIA support, and relationship issues.

Autism in women and girls is finally being recognized and diagnosed though for many the diagnosis comes after years of being socially isolated and having social difficulties.
You never seem to quite fit in. No matter how hard you try it feels as though those around you have some sort of secret code that they all know and use to. As much as you have tried you just can’t crack the code. There are people in your life but you worry they only tolerate you that they will eventually get burned out and leave. You are a passionate person you love theater, reading, crafting, anime, video games, and fantasy. Yet, no one seems as interested in those things as you are. You can find communities on the internet but you still feel lonely. You might have been told that women aren’t autistic but that isn't true.

Welcome! I specifically work with neurodiversity at my practice. Neurodiversity is a fancy way of saying that I work with all different brain types or "neurotypes" in my practice. I work with ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, Sensory Processing issues, among other neurotypes. I am a neurodivergent therapist myself, and my lived experience helps me to empathize and relate to my clients deeply. I take an affirming lens in my sessions, combating stigma and ableism, and assisting my clients to become more fully themselves. I am EMDR trained and trauma informed in my approach to therapy.

Are you a high-achieving woman questioning Autism or ADHD? Beyond your success, do you struggle with your self-identity and feel different than others? Do feel socially awkward and experience sensory concerns? You are hardworking and goal-oriented, but often feel overwhelmed to the point of having a meltdown. You strive to put your needs first, but struggle with perfectionism, self-limiting beliefs, and imposter syndrome. People don't take your concerns seriously because of your success. Feeling out of control is exhausting, but we will help you discover your authentic self, accommodate your needs, and validate your experience.

Does your child dance to the beat of a different drum? Maybe you’ve watched them struggle to “find their people,” gain acceptance, and hit their stride. They’re sensitive, easily overwhelmed, and anxious. If you’ve been at this for a while, they may already have a diagnosis of ADHD, Autism, PDA, or DMDD. You try so hard to understand your child, but you’re hitting a wall and feeling frustrated. You love them with all of your heart, but parenting feels so complicated. Is it your fault? Are you missing something? You wish you knew so that you could make things better.

I’ve helped countless families and individuals through challenges with ADHD and Autism and seen them thrive with a thorough, confidential evaluation, or treatment/coaching.
Is there some sort of rule book for life that you missed. How do other people know what's going on? how to feel happy? You have/wonder about ADHD or Autism, or maybe other people bring it up, but what does that really mean? I can help you understand what autism. ADHD means for you; how impacts you, and what this might mean in relationships. This might include work on anxiety, sadness, executive functioning, burnout, working on personal goal setting/finding direction, or a diagnostic evaluation. You'll have a safe place to be yourself, insight into your life, and concrete tips for moving forward, allowing you to be you.
