She brings a warm, collaborative, and affirming approach to her work, with a strong commitment to creating a safe space where clients feel understood, respected, and empowered.

She has also worked with asylum seekers and refugee populations, providing culturally responsive care to individuals navigating trauma, displacement, identity-related stress, and major life transitions.

Our Philosophy
We believe that neurodivergence represents natural human variation, not pathology. Our practice is built on the understanding that different brains bring different strengths—and sometimes need different support.
Affirming Care
We don't pathologize difference. Your neurodivergence is part of who you are, and we honor that in every interaction.
Practical Focus
Understanding yourself is just the beginning. We help you translate insights into real-world strategies that work.
Expert Knowledge
Our specialized training in neurodevelopmental conditions means you get care from providers who truly understand.
Why Neurodivergence Specialization Matters
Neurodivergent individuals—whether ADHD, autistic, or with learning differences—often have experiences that don't fit neatly into traditional frameworks. Generic approaches can miss the nuance.
Our specialized focus means we understand the unique challenges you face: masking, sensory differences, executive function struggles, and the fatigue of navigating a world designed for neurotypical minds.
It also means we recognize your strengths: the creativity, hyperfocus, pattern recognition, and deep passion that often come with neurodivergent minds.
