ADHD and autism aren't problems to fix. They're different ways of being in the world, and they come with real strengths alongside real challenges. I work with neurodivergent kids, teens, and adults to understand how their brains actually work, build skills that fit their wiring, and push back on the shame that often comes from years of being told they're too much or not enough.

For parents of neurodivergent children, I also help translate what's happening for your kid and coach you through the specific parenting moves that actually help, not just generic behavior tips that don't land.

I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help clients meet the parts of themselves that are anxious, critical, or shut down, instead of fighting them. When we understand what these parts are trying to protect, the symptoms start to loosen. Clients often tell me they've tried CBT or other symptom-focused approaches without the results they wanted. Parts work tends to go deeper and stick.

I also pull from experiential and interpersonal techniques, because anxiety and depression don't live in your head alone. They show up in relationships, in the body, and in the patterns you repeat without meaning to.

Starting college, leaving a job, becoming a parent, losing a relationship: these aren't just logistical changes. They're moments when the old version of you has to make space for a new one, and that process is almost always messier than people admit. Existential counseling gives us language for the meaning, freedom, and responsibility questions that show up underneath the surface complaints.
