Affirming Therapy for Highly Sensitive and Neurodiverse Adults
You may be here because…
You experience the world deeply—and that depth can be exhausting.
You might feel easily overstimulated, emotionally impacted by your surroundings, or worn down by expectations that don’t account for how your nervous system actually works.
You may be skilled, perceptive, and capable, yet privately managing overwhelm, fatigue, or shutdown.
Some people arrive already knowing they’re neurodivergent. Others are still finding language that finally helps their experience make sense.
You may have adapted by…
pushing past your limits and paying for it later
minimizing your needs to avoid being seen as “too much”
masking, over-functioning, or intellectualizing your feelings
assuming the problem is you, rather than the environment
learning to cope alone, often at the cost of authenticity and nervous system wellbeing
navigating late-diagnosed ADHD, burnout, and executive functioning challenges through self-medicating, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or constant compensation
Many of these strategies helped you get through. They were adaptive, intelligent responses to environments that didn’t offer enough support. And over time, they can also leave you disconnected from your body, needs, and sense of ease.
What Therapy Can Offer
Our work centers your nervous system—not as a problem to solve, but as something to listen to and work with.
I offer trauma-informed, affirming therapy that is non-pathologizing and paced with care. Together, we explore nervous system regulation, sensory needs, boundaries, and self-trust, while building rhythms and structures that support your neurodivergent or highly sensitive way of being.
You don’t need to become less sensitive to be well. Support can meet you where you are and help you feel more resourced in your daily life.
Understanding Sensitivity From the Inside
I offer affirming, neurodiversity-informed therapy for adults who experience the world with heightened sensitivity, depth, or non-linear ways of thinking. As a neurodiverse and highly sensitive person myself, I understand—both personally and professionally—the constant adaptations many people make to navigate systems that are not designed for unique nervous systems or minds that don’t fit conventional norms.
My clinical approach draws from somatic therapy, mindfulness-based practices, and parts-oriented work, all of which can be especially supportive for neurodiverse and highly sensitive adults.
Together, we focus on building nervous system regulation, increasing self-understanding, and developing strategies that honor how your mind and body naturally work, rather than trying to “fix” or override them.
I work well with clients who think creatively, process deeply, and move through the world in intuitive, nonlinear, or unconventional ways.
Therapy can be a space where you don’t have to translate yourself, mask, or over-explain. Instead, we work collaboratively to support self-acceptance, resilience, and sustainable ways of living that align with your needs and strengths.
If you’re looking for a therapist who understands both the clinical framework and the lived experience of sensitivity and neurodivergence, I invite you to connect.
FAQs
-
Therapy is different for everyone. Some people come in for a few months to work through something specific, while others stay longer for more profound healing and ongoing support. Together, we’ll check in about your goals and pace as we go. You never have to commit to a certain number of sessions up front. This is your journey, and we’ll move at the rhythm that feels right for you.
-
Sessions are 55 minutes long and via telehealth (secure video or phone). Sessions are spacious and collaborative. I’ll invite you to share what’s been coming up for you—emotionally, mentally, and physically—and we’ll follow what feels alive in the moment. Sometimes that looks like talking through life patterns or recent challenges; other times it might include mindfulness, visualization, or gentle somatic awareness. My role is to help you deepen your relationship with yourself and your body’s wisdom.
-
I currently only offer secure virtual sessions to clients located in California via video or phone. This allows you to connect from home, your studio, or wherever you feel most comfortable.
-
You can schedule a free 15-minute consultation directly through my website. This is a chance for us to connect, see if we’re a good fit, and answer any initial questions you might have. There’s no pressure to commit; it’s just a space to get a sense of what working together could feel like.
-
My current session rate is $250.
-
I’m an out-of-network provider, which means clients pay directly and can request reimbursement from their insurance if they have out-of-network benefits.
-
I have both weekly and bi-weekly spots available. Feel free to ask about this during your consultation.
-
I Have A No Cancellation Policy
Once an appointment is scheduled, it is final and non-cancellable, with no refunds or rescheduling for missed sessions.
However, I offer one "freebie" per year for unannounced cancellations due to unforeseen circumstances. Beyond that, any breaks or time off must be discussed and agreed upon in advance.
Please note, there may also be times when I will take time off for holidays or personal reasons, and I will always give notice when this occurs. Thank you for your understanding and commitment to your mental health journey.description

As an artist and therapist, I see creativity as a powerful tool for healing and transformation. We might use creative visualization, journaling, storytelling, ritual, or symbolic imagery to help you express what words can’t. You don’t need to consider yourself an artist; you just need to be open to imagination as a form of wisdom.
-
Yes — if that’s something that resonates with you. Many of my clients come from diverse spiritual paths, including earth-based, ancestral, witchy, or mystical traditions. Together, we can weave in ritual, energy work, or intuitive practices when they feel supportive.
-
You are absolutely welcome here. My approach is never about pushing any belief system. Whether you’re atheist, agnostic, or simply not interested in spirituality, therapy with me can remain entirely grounded and practical. The core of our work is curiosity, self-understanding, and growth — not dogma. You get to decide how we shape the space.
-
I bring together psychology, art, and spirituality to support the whole self — body, mind, and soul. My background as a licensed psychotherapist, artist, and witch allows me to bridge evidence-based therapy with ritual, imagination, and embodied wisdom. This isn’t one-size-fits-all therapy; it’s a space for profound transformation that honors who you truly are.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Under the law, healthcare providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your healthcare provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit WWW.CMS.GOV/NOSURPRISES or call 800-985-3059.
