Let's Work Together

You've always tried to do everything "right," but somehow things still feel off.

I help neurodivergent and out-of-the-box thinkers navigate anxiety, burnout, and emotional overwhelm with structure, compassion, and flexibility. You might notice that you:

• work hard, push yourself, and care deeply, yet still end up anxious or burned out
• second-guess what you're doing wrong
• feel like you don't quite fit the mold, or that your best efforts don't work the way they should
• have big feelings that arrive faster than you can do anything about them

Much of my work is skills-based. I use DBT, which means we won't only talk about what's hard, we'll build concrete tools for riding out intense emotion, tolerating distress without making things worse, and asking for what you need in relationships. For a lot of autistic and ADHD clients, having an actual framework instead of being told to "just regulate" is the thing that finally clicks.

Many of the people I work with are doing their best to hold everything together while quietly carrying the weight of self-doubt or overwhelm. They're thoughtful, capable, and often the ones others turn to for support, yet inside, they feel stuck or disconnected. In our work together, we'll create space for you to slow down, untangle what's been holding you back, and reconnect with your authentic self.

I'm also an affirming therapist for LGBTQIA+ clients. Whether you're sorting out identity, navigating coming out, dealing with family who don't understand, or you just want someone you don't have to educate first, you're welcome here.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in authenticity. I believe therapy should feel supportive and real, where you can bring all parts of yourself, even the ones that feel messy or uncertain.

I offer virtual therapy to adults across Michigan through Ideal Psychology Group. You don't need a diagnosis to start.
