Professional Background & Experience
​​​​
Neurodiversity Affirming & Lived Experience Informed
-
As a late-diagnosed AuDHD woman, I bring both professional training and lived experience into this work.
​
-
I know how powerful it can be to feel truly seen, not as a diagnosis, a label, or a problem to solve, but as a whole person with strengths, sensitivities, creativity, and complexity.

Whether it's a cat walking across your keyboard, a dog insisting on sitting close by, or a stuffed animal offering quiet background comfort, they are welcome as part of the process.

You may also occasionally meet my cat, Tina. She takes her role as office presence seriously and is known for strong boundaries, excellent timing, and a firm belief that therapy is best when conducted near a warm laptop.
Talking About Pets is ALWAYS Welcome
