My Ideal Client

I work with autistic and allistic adults and couples seeking a warm, steady space to heal. Clients are often navigating trauma, spiritual abuse, cult recovery, disability-related challenges, or life transitions like becoming empty nesters. Many are rebuilding identity, unmasking, or learning to trust themselves again. If you’re looking for a gentle, affirming place to feel seen and supported, you’re welcome here, including LGBTQIA+ folks.

How I Can Help You

I offer a calm, supportive space where you can explore what feels confusing, painful, or overwhelming. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety or perfectionism, arguing with your partner, feeling haunted by the past, or trying to make peace with your experience with a high demand group, we’ll go at the pace that feels right for you. I draw from solution-focused brief therapy to help you identify strengths, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to shift unhelpful patterns, narrative therapy to reshape the stories that no longer fit, and expressive therapies for gentle emotional processing. Together, we’ll work to understand your experiences, rebuild trust in yourself, strengthen boundaries, and create greater steadiness in your daily life. You don’t have to do this alone—I’m here to support you as you build a life that feels more authentic, grounded, and fully your own. I offer a limited sliding scale ($90–$120) to support clients with marginalized identities.

My Values as a Therapist

My work is grounded in warmth, respect, humor, and collaboration. I am a person-centered therapist—you are the boss of you. I self-identified my neurodivergence later in life. I recognize that there are many ways to experience the world, and I validate yours, including special interests and sensory issues. I am a straight woman and fully LGBTQ+ affirming. My aim is to understand your story enough so that we both see the path forward. For some, that means identifying a goal with specific plans for how to reach that goal in a few weeks or months. For others, that means slowing down, diving deep, and creating a sense of safety before we do anything else. In other words, we figure it out together as more of your authentic self emerges.
