Neurodiverse Affirming Therapy

Safe, Supportive, & Goal-Oriented Counseling for Individuals and Couples

My Approach

My hope is that the safe and supportive environment I seek to create will be a place where you can openly process difficult thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. When you work with me in therapy, I will assist you in finding the TOOLS and SKILLS needed to live your life more effectively. As a Neurodivergent Affirming therapist, I work with you to decide what goals align with your true authentic self and the life that will be meaningful to YOU.

My communication style can be described as supportive yet direct. I try to hold a balance of VALIDATION and ACCEPTANCE while also encouraging you to make MOVEMENT toward your GOALS. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and you can expect that I will value your input and ask what is and/or isn't working for you along the way.

I enjoy working with ADULTS from all different walks of life, though I take special pleasure in working with ADHD & Autism Spectrum Disorder, Anxiety & Mood Disorders, Relationship Issues & Communication Difficulties, Life Transitions & Life Purpose, as well as Empaths & Highly Sensitive People.

PLEASE NOTE: I do not provide on-call or crisis services and will not respond to an emergency. If you or someone you know is in need of immediate medical and/or psychiatric attention, please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.

“Virtual” Therapy

All sessions take place through a secure virtual portal or via a phone call (whichever suits you as the client). Though some may feel hesitant about Telehealth at first, I’ve heard clients say that it ends up working really well with busy schedules, can also feel more comfortable/open the door for increased vulnerability, and not feel too different from in-person therapy after all.

An added benefit for those with Executive Functioning struggles— you’ll receive appointment reminders and not have to deal with the multiple transitions, transportation/parking stressors, etc. that can come with in-person appointments!
