Tired of working up the courage to finally get the help you need only to end up feeling frustrated and unheard and scared to try again? Neurodivergent and worried you'll never find a provider who gets it? Trust me, I've been there! Discontent with my own experiences in the medical community shapes the way I practice. Research shows that the relationship between the provider and patient is one of the most important factors in patient outcomes. If you're looking for a safe space where all of your concerns and thoughts are valid, you've come to the right place. You deserve wellness.

We're all complex individuals with unique histories. No two stories are the same! As such, you and I will discuss what YOU want out of treatment and then work together to form a plan that encompasses a holistic, integrative approach combining medications, supplementation, psychotherapy, sleep optimization, nutrition, and more.

I know it all seems overwhelming right now, but you're not alone. I'll be with you every step of the way. I see you. I know you're doing the absolute best you can right now despite everything being REALLY hard. I admire your strength and your courage. A journey of a thousand miles begins with one single step. Take a deep breath, and take that step today.

Neurodivergency (autism, ADHD, etc.) comes with its own unique set of challenges as we try to navigate a society that just wasn't designed for us and our needs. Unfortunately, I can tell you from personal experience that these challenges are often not understood by the average medical provider. Your experience and your needs are valid, and you deserve someone who gets you.
