Neurodivergent & LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy for Adults in AZ

You've been holding it together on the outside.

But inside you're shutting down, overwhelmed, and

feeling lost in a world where you don't feel like you 'fit in.'

​

​

​​​

​​Therapy can be a place where you start to unmask and stop overfunctioning.

Do you find yourself overthinking, constantly stressed, and unable to 'just push through' anymore?

Do you struggle with understanding your own identity behind the mask you wear for other people?

Do you feel confused by others and their social expectations that don't make sense to you?

You've found the right place for support if you... 

​​​

  • Are an adult with ADHD, Autism, or suspect you might have one or both

  • Tested as 'Gifted' in school or just have a naturally more powerful brain

  • Often experience anxiety, overwhelm, or emotional shutdown

  • Struggle with self-worth and feeling "too much" or "not enough"

  • Hide (or "mask") parts of yourself to get through your life 

  • Have a hard time with your own identity

  • Identify as LGBTQIA+ or are questioning if you might

  • Want therapy where Neurodiversity & Queerness is understood, accepted, and celebrated

​​

​​​

You don't need more "coping skills" or to be told to "change your thinking."

You've tried that. What you actually want is help to feel:​

​​​​

  • Less stuck in overwhelm and more grounded​

  • Like you can participate and enjoy your own life 

  • Able to show up more authentically 

  • Accepting of yourself and able to let go of shame

  • Like who you are is worthy and valuable

💛 Welcome! 💛

I've spent years supporting many clients who have shared that they tried therapy before but felt misunderstood and discouraged.

My approach goes beyond surface-level coping strategies to focus on the deeper aspects of your life, identity, and the experiences that shaped who you are today. 

We acknowledge the systems we exist within and how they have impacted you and those around you.

Therapy with me is collaborative, personal, and human. 

Your needs and capacity set the pace.

Validation and compassion are paramount.

The curious paradox is that

when I accept myself just as I am,

then I can change.
