Therapy for People Who Have Survived, Adapted, and Are Ready for Something Deeper
Relational, depth-oriented therapy for trauma, grief, neurodivergence, chronic illness, and the complicated ways we learn to survive.
Earned-Secure Attachment
You may understand yourself well and still struggle to feel safe, known, or fully yourself in relationships. I work with adults whose early experiences shaped how they approach closeness, trust, conflict, need, and self-protection. Therapy can become a place to understand those patterns and begin moving from healing alone toward healing in relationship.
Making a Life Around What Cannot Be Replaced
Grief can come through death, estrangement, illness, lost capacity, the end of a relationship, or the future you once expected to have. I work with visible and ambiguous losses, including grief that others may not fully recognize. Therapy can help you make room for what cannot be replaced without allowing it to erase the life that is still here.
AuDHD and Neurodivergence
Neurodiversity-Affirming Therapy
Many neurodivergent adults arrive in therapy after years of masking, overcompensating, burning out, or feeling fundamentally misunderstood. I work with ADHD, autism, AuDHD, sensory needs, executive dysfunction, rejection sensitivity, and late identification. Therapy can help you understand your mind, reduce shame, and build a life that does not require you to constantly override yourself.
Chronic Illness and Medical Trauma
Therapy That Does Not Dismiss the Body
Chronic illness can alter your relationship with your body, work, independence, identity, and future. I work with adults navigating pain, fatigue, disability, changing capacity, medical uncertainty, and the trauma of not being believed. Therapy can hold the emotional reality of illness without reducing physical symptoms to anxiety or treating distress as evidence that the illness is not real.
Emotional and Narcissistic Abuse
Rebuilding Self-Trust After Relational Harm
Emotional and narcissistic abuse can leave you doubting your memory, perceptions, needs, and judgment. I work with adults recovering from gaslighting, coercive control, chronic invalidation, scapegoating, trauma bonding, and relationships that gradually eroded their sense of self. Therapy can help you make sense of the confusion and begin rebuilding trust in your own reality.

"I believe healing happens through connection. We heal together, not alone. Therapy is a space to show up as your authentic self and feel truly seen and understood. My goal is to help you know yourself deeply and feel confident showing up as you are in the world. It’s an honor to walk alongside you on this journey.”
