For over a decade, I've had the privilege of guiding those in the grieving community through the process of rebuilding their lives after loss, and more recently, have been helping late-identified ADHD and autistic adults who are learning more about their unique neurotypes.

​

I bring compassion and expertise to the unique ways our brains and bodies respond to challenges. Just being around others who share lived experience of your biggest challenges can be healing in itself, but working with a mental health professional who also really gets it is like finally being able to exhale. Non-pathologizing, non-judgmental, authentic.

I know what it's like to have my world turned upside down by loss. To watch my children grieve and not be able to fix it. To mask myself to be more palatable. To feel abandoned by those I thought I could count on. To survive for my kids until I finally found the will for myself, too.

​

No one was coming to save me; I had to save myself. In doing so, I learned that my children's and my undiagnosed neurodivergence had been making everything harder all along.

​

You don't have to start from scratch the way I did. Let me share what I wish I had known to spare you years of struggle before it takes a toll on your physical health. The body keeps score—my autoimmune conditions are proof of what happens when grief, trauma, and chronic stress go unaddressed. I can't save you, but I can help you save yourself. And if you have children, saving yourself will save them, too.
