Let's Work Together

A compassionate, nonjudgmental place to be fully seen and supported.

You've been told it was anxiety. Then maybe depression, or burnout, or that you're just sensitive. Maybe someone floated a personality disorder. None of it ever quite explained why things that look effortless for everyone else cost you so much.

A lot of the women I work with are autistic or AuDHD and didn't find out until adulthood. They did well in school. They have friends. They make eye contact. So nobody ever asked the question, and they spent years assuming everyone was working this hard and just handling it better.

Many of my clients are navigating:

• autism and AuDHD identified in adulthood, or still unidentified
• autistic burnout that's been treated as depression
• masking, sensory overwhelm, and social exhaustion
• ADHD, OCD, anxiety, and grief
• autoimmune conditions and chronic pain
• invisible burdens they are tired of having to explain

You're not alone, and you deserve a space where you don't have to explain yourself constantly. That's what I offer.

Over the past 10 years, I've worked with individuals from all walks of life, and what continues to inspire me is the strength and resilience I see in every person I meet. My approach is warm, holistic, and collaborative. I use EMDR, IFS-informed work, and somatic techniques, which matter especially when you've spent a long time disconnected from what your body was trying to tell you. We move at your pace.

Therapy with me isn't about "fixing" you. It's about working together to better understand your patterns, process old pain, and build tools that actually work for your unique mind and body. I believe healing happens when we feel safe enough to explore what hurts and strong enough to believe change is possible.

I offer virtual therapy to teens and adults across Michigan through Ideal Psychology Group. You don't need a formal diagnosis to work with me, and self-identification is welcome here.
