Neurodivergent-affirming therapist for adults

Neurodivergent adults (e.g., autistic, ADHD, gifted, twice- or multi-exceptional, and/or highly sensitive folks) looking for a therapist who truly understands their experiences.

Maybe you were diagnosed early, maybe you figured it out last year, or maybe you're still wondering. Wherever you are with it, you're welcome here, in a space where your brain isn't treated as the problem!

I'm a therapist, theologian, parent, spouse, pet guardian, softball player, reader, weight lifter, and neurodivergent human.

I’m fiercely affirming of LGBTQ+ folks, as well as anyone who has been marginalized by race, ethnicity, religion, neurodiversity, ability, and more.

That means I'm not here to make you look or act more "typical." I'm here to help you understand how you work, heal what's hurt you, and build a life that fits the brain you actually have.

Maybe you've spent years keeping up, masking, and pushing through, and now you're running on empty. Things that used to be manageable feel impossible. You're exhausted in a way that sleep and a long weekend don't touch, and it's hard to remember what you even enjoy.

If that sounds familiar, you're not lazy and you're not failing. We can slow down, look at what's draining you, and figure out what you actually need, at a pace that works for you.

We'll shape therapy around how you think and process. I'm an EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapist, IFS trained and DBR trained, and none of these has to look one set way. In EMDR therapy, for example, we usually find the image of the worst part of a memory. (Note: If you have aphantasia, we'll notice another sensory element that represents the worst part!) There are lots of creative ways to engage with EMDR, and I have many tools to help you do so.

If trauma is part of your story, too, my complex trauma therapy and religious trauma work may be part of our time together, too. Sessions are by video, for adults in Georgia, Pennsylvania and Florida.

If any of this resonates with you, I'd love to connect! Shoot me an email or hit that "Contact" button. I can't wait to hear from you!
