Who I Support<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I specialize in supporting neurodivergent adults and children, with a particular focus on those navigating life with ADHD and autism. Whether you\u2019re exploring a recent diagnosis or have long identified as neurodivergent, my approach is grounded in deep compassion and respect for your unique way of thinking, feeling, and experiencing the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I also work closely with women navigating the painful and often confusing dynamics of abusive relationships, including narcissistic abuse. Whether you’re currently in one, preparing to leave, or healing from the past, I offer a space that prioritizes safety, care, and understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to these areas, I support clients facing anxiety, depression, or times in life that feel stuck, disconnected, or unclear. Wherever you find yourself, you’re welcome to show up just as you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With warmth and curiosity, I integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help clients process trauma, reconnect with their intuition, and unburden protective parts. I often weave in somatic techniques to support regulation and ease, especially when exploring painful memories or emotionally charged experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My style is casual, grounding, and pressure-free\u2014therapy doesn’t need to fit a mold to be transformative. I blend existential conversations, narrative therapy, and IFS to help you reconnect with a sense of agency and authorship in your own life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In our work together, you\u2019ll have the space to fully share your story\u2014not just to be heard, but to gently examine your experiences from new angles. Together, we\u2019ll look at the patterns, pain points, and meaning woven throughout your story, while also shining light on moments of courage, resistance, and truth\u2014even the small ones that often go unnoticed. This collaborative reflection can help affirm your inner strength and give voice to the injustices you\u2019ve carried, allowing space for healing and change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Above all, comfort and authenticity are at the heart of my practice. My hope is that you feel fully accepted, seen, and supported in our space together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":348,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"wt-staff__therapist__email":"insurance@wave-therapist.org","wt-staff__therapist__licenses":"AMFT
