New to Grow
Life can become complicated when the strategies that once worked stop working. Whether you're navigating a recent ADHD or AuDHD diagnosis, struggling with burnout, anxiety, depression, or major life changes, it can feel like you're trying to solve a puzzle without all the pieces. As someone who was diagnosed later in life, I understand both the relief and the disruption that can come from finally having an explanation for lifelong challenges. That experience has shaped my approach to therapy and deepened my appreciation for the resilience people develop while trying to navigate a world that wasn't designed with their needs in mind. My work is grounded in the belief that every person has a unique nervous system, unique strengths, and unique challenges. Rather than treating a label, I focus on understanding you as a whole person. I draw from established therapy approaches, neuroscience, and our growing understanding of the connection between the brain and body. I also believe that therapy doesn't have to feel cold or clinical. Humor, relatable analogies, and practical tools are often part of our conversations. I work primarily with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or exhausted from constantly trying to keep up. Many are navigating neurodivergence, life transitions, relationship challenges, or the loss of skills that can accompany chronic stress and burnout. I also provide an affirming space for clients in kink, polyamorous, and other consensual nontraditional relationships. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, reduce overwhelm, build sustainable strategies, and create a life that feels more authentic and manageable. You don't need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We can work through it together, one step at a time.
In our first session, we’ll focus on getting a clear picture of where you are starting and what you hope to gain from therapy. We’ll review any necessary paperwork and complete a biopsychosocial assessment, but I aim for the process to feel more like a conversation than an interrogation. I’ll ask questions to better understand your experiences, strengths, and current challenges while also learning about your goals for our work together. When possible, My hope is that by the end of the session you feel heard, understood, and encouraged that meaningful, positive change is possible.
One of the strengths I bring to my therapy practice is the combination of professional expertise and lived experience. As someone who was diagnosed with ADHD later in life after years of believing my struggles were solely related to anxiety and depression, I understand firsthand the confusion, grief, self-doubt, and relief that can come with gaining a new understanding of yourself. This perspective helps me connect with clients in a way that is both compassionate and practical. I am committed to staying current with emerging research in neuroscience and integrating evidence-informed concepts into therapy to help clients better understand how their brains work and develop strategies that fit their unique needs. I provide an affirming, judgment-free environment for people from diverse backgrounds and lifestyles, including those involved in alternative relationship structures, kink communities, and other nontraditional ways of living. While I believe in creating a safe space where clients can feel heard, supported, and understood, my approach is not limited to simply holding space. I am an active and engaged therapist who is willing to challenge unhelpful patterns, encourage growth, and help clients move from insight to action. My goal is to support clients in building meaningful, lasting change while honoring their values, strengths, and individuality.
My ideal client is dealing with a late diagnosis of ADHD or autism and is dealing with needed reorganization internally and externally to adjust. The ideal mindset is open to therapy and believes change is possible. They will understand that the real work is done between sessions and is ready to put in the effort. I work best with women and non-binary/gender fluid individuals but have also had good experience working with men in these circumstances.
