I know how it feels to arrive at a point in life and find the parts that once fit no longer do and then to face the tender, uncertain work of un/re/dis/covering your deepest most authentic self.
With more than 25 years of experience supporting neurodivergent individuals and families across public and private sectors, I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to my work. I identify as both neurodivergent and a member of the LGBTQIA+ community.
I work with couples and adults supporting them with:
-
Relationship Challenges
-
Trauma and Attachment Wounds
-
Women’s Mental Health: Peri/menopause
-
Sexuality and Gender Issues
-
Neurodiversity (AuDHD, ADHD, ASD)
-
Anxiety
At the heart of my practice is a trauma-informed, neurodiversity- and LGBTQIA+ affirming perspective. This framework shapes how I conceptualize challenges, recognize strengths, and support clients in creating meaningful and sustainable change. My clinical work is grounded in the evidence-based, gold-standard approaches of Trauma-Informed Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFCT) and Gottman Method Couples Therapy. I integrate these modalities with parts work and somatic approaches to help individuals and couples understand their patterns at both a relational and nervous system level.
What It’s Like to Work With Me
I take a non-pathologizing view of neurodivergence and sexuality as these are both beautiful expressions of what it means to be human. My work is oriented toward clarity, stability, and improved relational functioning without requiring self-abandonment or normalization.
This is a place where you can settle in without needing to explain or justify who you are.
A space where:
-
Your experiences are taken seriously
-
Your identity is respected and affirmed
-
Your story can unfold at your own pace
Where you can exhale, be seen, and explore what it means to come home to yourself.
I look forward to connecting with you!
