Why I’m a Good Fit for YOU
You’re looking for neurodivergent therapy or assessment that helps you makes sense of the world and gives you real tools.
You are looking for a therapist who jokes, feels, and cusses along with you in sessions. Not someone who is a blank slate.
You want to be pushed and challenged- in the nicest way possible of course!
You’re looking for a provider who is neurodivergent themselves. I am late diagnosed ADHD and also have many traits of autism.
What Therapy is Like with Me
Sitting in a session with me should feel hopeful and empowering- not intimidating or shameful. Shame is one of the biggest feelings that keep us stuck. Neurodivergent affirming therapy is all about meeting you where you are- not pushing you towards something inauthentic.
We will spend time untangling all the different elements of your life- your family, your childhood, your education, your culture, your religion, your relationships. This untangling leads to awareness and insight, which will allow us to slowly coax out the ability to stop, choose, and change.
Why I’m a Therapist
My own journey with anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, and panic began at a young age. I had to seriously confront it at the age of 19 after what I would absolutely call a mental breakdown.
My journey with therapy is now over 16 years long and I am constantly processing and exploring new ways to understand myself.
Each therapist I have worked with, and the trainings I have pursued have helped me build up a big ole box of tools to help meet my clients with compassion and patience, exactly where they are.

Body Image and Diet Culture
I am anti-diet culture and anti-fatphobia. I believe in body liberation. I do not help clients change their bodies, but I do help improve their relationship with them.
Race and Privilege
I am always moving forward with my own work around privilege and race. I believe in the existence of systemic racism and am progressive in my social and political beliefs. I work with clients of all ethnicities and races and work hard to be culturally affirming and open. As a white woman with visible privilege, I do not act as an expert about anyone’s lived experiences.
LGBTQIA2S+ Community
I am both a member of and an ally to the queer community. I work with any type of client with any type of sexual, relational, or gender identity.
Religion and Spirituality
I am a non-religious therapist. I have experience working with faith transitions and understand the impact of religion on mental health. I work with clients of any faith, or no faith, and encourage all clients to explore their spirituality. I am a former non-denominational Christian who left the church in 2008.
Chronic Illness Commnunity
I work with many clients with chronic pain, chronic fatigue, and other chronic conditions. i personally deal with dysautomia (Orthostatic Intolerance) and connective tissue concerns (hEDS) and understand the impact of these types of conditions on everyday life.
Neurodivergence
I believe neurodivergence is a socio-political identity that encompasses neurodevelopmental conditions (ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, etc), trauma, mental illness, queerness, and anything diverges from mainstream expectations and identities.
