Who I Work With

I work with neurodivergent teens and adults who want to better understand how their brain and nervous system function and make meaningful changes in their lives.

Some clients come to therapy feeling stuck or overwhelmed, while others are already doing well and simply want thoughtful support as they work on sleep, executive functioning, identity, relationships, or life direction.

My work tends to resonate most with people who are curious about themselves and open to experimenting with practical changes that help them live in ways that actually support how they function.

Neurodivergent Teens & Their Families

Many of the teens I work with are bright, thoughtful, and deeply feeling young people who are struggling with executive functioning, identity development, school stress, or emotional overwhelm.

Parents often come to me after realizing that traditional approaches aren’t working for their neurodivergent child. Together we focus on building understanding, practical supports, and a more sustainable path forward.

I also collaborate with parents so they feel more confident supporting their teen at home.

Late-Identified Neurodivergent Adults

Many of my adult clients are discovering later in life that they are ADHD, Autistic, Gifted, or otherwise neurodivergent.

This realization can be both validating and confusing. Therapy can be a place to unpack past experiences, make sense of identity, and begin building a life that better fits how your brain actually works.

Common themes include burnout, masking, relationships, career transitions, and self-acceptance.

Chronically Ill and Physically Disabled Humans

Some of my clients are living with chronic illness, physical disabilities, or ongoing health conditions that affect how they move through the world.

I have worked with people navigating chronic fatigue, autoimmune illness, chronic pain, hypermobility and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), and a wide range of physical limitations that impact daily life.

Therapy in this context often focuses on learning how to work with your body and nervous system rather than constantly pushing against your limits. We may explore pacing, lifestyle adaptations, accessibility needs, identity shifts, and building a life that supports your health.

Many chronically ill and physically disabled clients are also neurodivergent, and our work often explores how these experiences intersect.

People Working on Integration and Life Alignment

Some clients come to therapy after already doing significant personal growth or trauma work.

At this stage, therapy often focuses on integration — learning how to organize your life, relationships, work, and environment in ways that truly support your nervous system.

This might include lifestyle changes, boundary work, somatic awareness, executive functioning support, and identity development.

Alternative Communities, Creative Humans, and Poly/CNM Folks

Many of the people who find their way to my practice live outside conventional expectations.

I often work with artists, musicians, burners, ravers, members of the LGBTQ+ community, people practicing polyamory or consensual non-monogamy (CNM), and neurodivergent folks who are building lives that look different from traditional paths.

These communities are often creative, thoughtful, and values-driven, but they’re not always well understood by traditional systems. Therapy can be a place where you don’t have to explain your world before we begin doing meaningful work together.

If you’ve always felt a little different from the norm, you may feel at home here.
