Specialties

I work with Autistic and AuDHD clients who experience intense emotions, sensitivity, and overwhelm. Many of my clients are bright, perceptive, and capable, yet feel stuck, unsure how to regulate their emotions, manage daily responsibilities, or build a life that feels sustainable.

I help Autistic clients understand how their unique nervous system impacts their emotions, energy, and functioning. Together, we work to reduce overwhelm, build regulation, and create ways of living that align with your needs rather than forcing yourself to fit expectations.

A core part of this work is letting go of shame and developing a more compassionate, accurate understanding of yourself. Rather than trying to “fix” who you are, we focus on helping you navigate the world in a way that is both effective and authentic.

It is important to work with a therapist who truly understands neurodivergence. Without that understanding, therapy can unintentionally reinforce shame or push clients toward strategies that don’t fit their nervous system.

I work with clients across a range of support needs and tailor therapy to each individual’s strengths, challenges, and goals.

Trauma is what happens in the body when we experience real or perceived threat exceeds our nervous system’s capacity at the time. For many autistic and neurodivergent people, trauma is often more than one event. It’s the accumulation of years of overwhelm, masking, misunderstanding, and trying to survive in environments that never really felt safe. You may feel on edge, easily overwhelmed, emotional or shutdown, exhausted, or unsure how to feel safe in their body.

This is not a failure. It’s the result of a nervous system trying to survive that has been under chronic strain. I specialize in helping neurodivergent clients process trauma in a way that respects their sensitivity and unique nervous system.

Using somatic techniques, EMDR, and IFS-Informed approaches, we move at a pace that supports your regulation, safety, and promotes lasting change.

I understand that chronic illness can touch every aspect of your life. It impacts your career, relationships, finances, hobbies, and your body. Many people grieve the life they had and the future they planned. It can can be lonely and isolating.

Navigating the medical field is also challenging and time consuming. Many people find they end up advocating for their needs and struggling to get resources.

I have lived experience in this area. Many of my clients are navigating POTS, Ehlers Danlos, Chronic Fatigue, and autoimmune diseases.
