Areas of Focus

  • Neurodivergence

    Maybe you’ve always felt a little different but haven’t quite had the words for why. Or perhaps you’ve spent years masking, pushing through, trying harder, and wondering why things that seem easy for other people can feel so exhausting.

    I work with neurodivergent adolescents and adults, including those with ADHD, autism, AuDHD, and other forms of neurodivergence. Therapy can be a place to better understand the way your brain works, explore your needs and identity, and find ways of navigating life that work with you rather than against you.

    A formal diagnosis isn’t required. Self-identification and questioning are welcome here, too.

  • Anxiety & Overwhelm

    Maybe your mind rarely feels quiet. You overthink conversations, anticipate what might go wrong, replay what already happened, or feel like you’re constantly trying to stay one step ahead.

    Anxiety can also look like irritability, perfectionism, avoidance, people-pleasing, shutdown, or feeling overwhelmed by things you think you “should” be able to handle.

    Therapy can help us get curious about what’s underneath the anxiety, understand the patterns that keep it going, and find ways of responding that feel more supportive and sustainable.

  • Depression & Feeling Stuck

    Depression doesn’t always look like sadness. Sometimes it feels like exhaustion, disconnection, irritability, numbness, losing interest in things you once enjoyed, or simply going through the motions.

    You may know something needs to change but have no idea where to begin—or not have the energy to begin at all.

    Therapy can give us space to understand what you’re carrying, reconnect with what matters to you, and begin finding a way forward at a pace that feels manageable.

  • Trauma & Difficult Experiences

    You don’t have to call what happened to you “trauma” for it to have affected you.

    Difficult experiences can shape the way we see ourselves, relate to others, respond to stress, and experience safety and connection long after the experience itself has passed.

    Therapy can offer space to understand those connections without rushing you to tell your whole story. We’ll move at a pace that respects where you are while making room for what you’ve experienced and how it may still be showing up today.

  • Identity & Self-Understanding

    Sometimes therapy isn’t about something being “wrong.” You may simply be questioning who you are, noticing that the way you’ve been living no longer fits, or realizing how much of yourself you’ve shaped around other people’s expectations.

    Therapy can be a place to explore identity, values, needs, boundaries, masking, and the different parts of yourself with curiosity rather than pressure to arrive at an answer.

  • Life Transitions & Relationships

    Change can be difficult even when it’s something you chose. Relationships, family changes, school, work, caregiving, loss, changing roles, and other transitions can leave us questioning where we fit or what comes next.

    Therapy can give you space to process what’s changing, understand what you need, explore patterns in your relationships, and navigate what comes next in a way that feels more like you.
