Do you struggle with "unmasking" in a world that seems to demand neurotypical behaviors in all spheres? Do you feel disappointed or frustrated by a never ending to-do list and feeling unable to meet the standards set by yourself and others? Do you wonder if your ability to focus and find spaces to unmask could get easier? Now more than ever, neurodivergent people who receive a diagnosis later in life are feeling overwhelmed by how to grieve their past of not knowing about their brain functioning and what tools can help in living a more fulfilling life in the present and future.
I counsel individuals who discover their neurodivergence later in life. We process how they experienced life in their families. I open space for emotions to emerge as we explore neurodiversity implications. I assist in celebrating strengths and identifying executive functioning tools via inclusive therapy to better understand what your brain needs to thrive.
Counseling neurodiverse individuals and couples is my passion. I guide you to embrace your neurotype, strengthen and reinforce understanding of self and others, and provide resources for referrals if additional support as needed. Email or call me today for a free consultation and we’ll get started meandering down the neurodiversity path together.

When you come to me for therapy, you can expect a balance of symptom management and practical tools along with a deep dive into how your thoughts and emotional patterns came to be based on childhood experiences. When working with ADHD, my goals are to contextualize your experience, teach practical tools, and address the emotions of being neuro-divergent in a predominately neuro-typical world.

I work from the lens of psychodynamic therapy. I believe this is the most effective framework in understanding why you behave in certain ways based on narratives you learned when you were growing up, consciously or otherwise. Once we have an framework of those messages, we will work together to uncover new options you have for the future through your thoughts and actions!
