How I do this work:

Therapy with me is process-oriented, structured, and collaborative. It will feel like a focused conversation where we slow things down enough to actually understand what’s happening, rather than rushing to solutions that don’t stick. I pay close attention to patterns, how you think, how you relate, how you respond under stress, and help you make those patterns visible so you can choose something different.

I’m especially drawn to working with people at inflection points, moments where your existing way of understanding yourself stops working. These can look like recovering from infidelity, receiving a later-in-life autism or ADHD diagnosis, navigating neurodivergent burnout, facing grief and loss (including pet loss), or realizing a relationship or identity no longer fits. These moments are often destabilizing, but they’re not random breakdowns, they’re invitations. Invitations to understand yourself more accurately, to relate to your needs differently, and to move forward with more intention. Transformation doesn’t come from forcing yourself to “get back to normal.” It comes from engaging the moment with curiosity, building self-compassion, and challenging the patterns that no longer serve you.

With individuals, this often means helping you build a more accurate and compassionate understanding of yourself, especially if you’re navigating a neurodivergent identity, burnout, or a major life transition. If you’re neurodivergent, the work is not about forcing compliance with neurotypical expectations. It’s about understanding your nervous system, reducing unnecessary friction, and building a life that actually fits how you operate.

With couples, the work is structured and direct. We establish enough safety to keep conversations from escalating, then map the interactional patterns between you. We identify how each person’s protective strategies interact, where misattunement happens, and what each of you is actually needing underneath the conflict. This is especially critical in mixed-neurotype relationships, where differences in processing, communication, and regulation are often misinterpreted as lack of care.

I will challenge you when needed. Not for the sake of confrontation, but to interrupt patterns that keep you stuck. The focus is always on increasing awareness, flexibility, and choice. We regularly evaluate what’s working and adjust accordingly.

If you’re into therapy language, my work is informed by Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).

I’m also actively unlearning productivity-driven and performative standards of worth, and I bring that into the room. You won’t be pushed to mask, over-function, or fit yourself into something that doesn’t align, especially if that’s been the expectation placed on you for most of your life.

I also offer neurodivergent affirming Autism assessments! You can learn more about these here.
