Affirming telehealth therapy for neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ clients navigating identity, relationships, and the parts of life that weren’t designed with you in mind.
This is licensed clinical therapy, not coaching. I provide mental health treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship issues, and identity exploration. For professional leadership development, see my coaching practice.

Therapy should feel like a judgment-free zone where you can explore who you are, what you want, and how to build a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.
As a licensed therapist specializing in work with Neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ individuals, I bring both clinical expertise and genuine understanding to our work together. Whether you’re exploring identity, navigating relationship questions, processing grief or trauma, managing anxiety or depression, or simply wanting to live more intentionally—I’m here to support you.
I use evidence-based therapeutic approaches (CBT, IFS, trauma-informed care) while honoring your unique story and values. Our work together is confidential, affirming, and grounded in the belief that you already have the wisdom you need—sometimes you just need help accessing it.
My practice focuses on two areas in particular. I also work with clients on the full range of concerns listed below.
Support for individuals with ADHD, autism, and other neurodivergent experiences navigating a neurotypical world that was not designed for the way you think. Work here often focuses on the cost of masking, executive function as a lived practice, and building a life that fits your actual wiring rather than one you’re constantly translating yourself into.
Whether you’re exploring your identity for the first time or navigating the complex emotions around coming out to family, friends, or yourself, I offer an affirming space with no judgment and no timeline. Work here often sits at the intersection of identity, family-of-origin, and the quiet accumulation of small indignities the world hands people for being themselves.
I practice from an integrative, evidence-based perspective, drawing on therapeutic modalities that have strong research support while tailoring treatment to your unique needs.
I adhere to the ethical guidelines of the American Counseling Association (ACA) and maintain clear professional boundaries.
Therapy can be helpful if you’re experiencing persistent emotional distress, facing major life transitions, struggling with relationships, processing trauma, or simply wanting to understand yourself better. If you’re unsure, a consultation call can help clarify whether therapy would be beneficial.
Therapy addresses mental health concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, and emotional difficulties. It’s clinical treatment focused on healing and psychological wellbeing.
Coaching focuses on professional development and leadership effectiveness. It’s not treatment for mental health issues.
I offer both services separately with clear boundaries. This therapy practice follows all clinical ethical standards and licensure requirements.
It varies. Some people benefit from short-term therapy (8-16 sessions) focused on specific issues. Others engage in longer-term work (6 months to years) for deeper healing or complex concerns. We’ll discuss your goals and timeline together.
Yes. Everything discussed is confidential and protected by law. The only exceptions are: (1) if you’re in danger of harming yourself or others, (2) if there’s suspected abuse of a child or vulnerable adult, or (3) if required by court order. These situations are rare, and I would discuss them with you first when possible.
I’m an in-network provider in many insurance plans and bill directly in Washington and Maryland, and an out-of-network provider with others (meaning I don’t bill insurance directly). When needed, I provide "superbills" (detailed receipts) that you can submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. Many insurance plans cover out-of-network mental health services at 50-80%. My practice will check your benefits before our first session.
The first session is mostly about getting to know each other. We’ll discuss what brought you to therapy, your history, current concerns, and goals. I’ll explain how therapy works and answer your questions. There’s no pressure to share anything you’re not ready to discuss. It’s also an opportunity for you to decide if I’m the right therapist for you.
I ask for at least 24 hours notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Late cancellations (less than 24 hours) may be charged the full session fee. Emergencies are always understandable—just communicate as soon as you can.
Please bring this up. Sometimes therapy feels stuck, and that’s important to discuss. We can adjust our approach, or I can refer you to another therapist who might be a better fit. Your wellbeing is what matters most, even if that means working with someone else.

If you’re interested in therapy, the first step is a brief consultation call to discuss your needs and determine if we’re a good fit. There are two ways to begin:
