I am passionate about helping neurodivergent-identifying folx navigate a world designed by and for a neurotypical brain. I am an ardent advocate for neurodiversity and view ADHD as a brain style. My focus, through empirically supported coaching and solution-focused counseling, is to transform “disorder” into an asset. I partner with my clients to develop skills that compensate for the difficult parts of their diagnosis, while celebrating the amazing qualities of their neurodivergent brain. As an LCMHC with nearly 14 years of counseling experience supporting neruodivergent students at a university setting, and as someone diagnosed with learning disabilities and ADHD at an early age, I know that neurodivergence is not something to be conquered or worthy of shame. It is something to be celebrated! I specialize in assessment and treatment of ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and learning disorders. I'm also trained in providing trauma-focused interventions for survivors of childhood, relational, racial, educational and other forms of systemic abuse and discrimination. I am also a certified provider of trauma-informed CBT, DBT, and grief counseling.
