About

I work with people navigating ADHD, Autism, AuDHD, complex trauma, gender identity, LGBTQ+ experiences, relationships and intimacy challenges, and attachment wounds. Whether you’re untangling years of masking, exploring your identity, sexuality, non-traditional relationship structures or simply trying to make sense of why relationships feel so hard (or so good and that’s scary), I’m here to sit with you in it — gently, curiously, and without judgment. My approach is relational, neurodivergent-affirming, and trauma-informed, with a deep respect for your unique rhythms, inner world, and survival strategies. Therapy with me is less about "fixing" and more about uncovering — the parts of you that got buried, the wisdom you already carry, and the ways you want to show up in your life and relationships.
