Having a mind that functions in ways which diverge significantly from the dominant societal standards of “normal”. Neurodivergence (the state of being neurodivergent) can be largely or entirely genetic and innate, or it can be largely or entirely produced by brain-altering experience, or some combination of the two. Autism and ADHD are examples of innate forms of ND, because of their genetic basis. Having completed my master’s academic research on the co-occurrence of autism and ADHD, my knowledge is contemporary and extensive in both. The literature and science are clear that both ADHD and autism are lifelong experiences. In my therapeutic approach, I do not work from the understanding that ADHD and autism are necessarily disorders to treat or make go-away. Rather, I work from the perspective that the world was not designed for individuals within these experiences. As a result, these individuals face various compounding challenges involving executive functioning and emotional regulation that may require additional support. Whether you are curious, have known for most of your life, received a diagnosis as an adult, or want to build skills, I am here to support you.

I work with couples and multi-partner relationships, including polyamorous and consensually non-monogamous configurations, to help partners communicate more clearly, rebuild trust, navigate sexual related issues and understand each other's needs, especially when partners have different neurotypes. Relationship therapy isn't just for crisis moments. It's also useful when things are functional but you want more depth, honesty, or connection than you currently have.

Sexuality and gender identity are core parts of who you are, not side issues to work around. Having a space to explore and understand how the systems around you (family, culture, community) have shaped your relationship to these parts of yourself is often central to deeper mental health work. I offer a queer-allied, trans-affirming space for that exploration.

Trauma isn't only about a single dramatic event. It can also be the slow accumulation of experiences, past or present, that leave you feeling on edge, shut down, or disconnected from your own life. I use a somatic and experiential approach, working with the body as well as the mind, to help you process what's stuck and move through it at a pace that feels safe.

Grief shows up in more forms than most people expect. It can follow a death, but also a job loss, the end of a relationship, or any significant life transition that changes who you thought you'd be. There's no timeline I'm holding you to. We go at whatever pace actually fits your experience.

Individual therapy is space that's entirely yours. Whether you're working through anxiety, a life transition, or a pattern you keep running into but can't quite name, our work together is about understanding what's actually happening underneath, not just managing the symptoms on the surface. Sessions are available in person and via secure teletherapy.
