AuDHD Identity PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) High-Masking Support LGBTQ+ Affirming Neuro-Affirming Therapy

Lived Experience meets Clinical Expertise.

As an AuDHD person myself, I am passionate about helping neurodiverse kids, adolescents, and adults find their identity. I take a neuro-affirming approach to both assessment and therapy, moving away from stereotypical views of autism.

I specialize in identifying Pathological Demand Avoidance and working with high-masking individuals. My goal is to support clients in unmasking and advocating for their sensory and regulation needs.

Families and adults often come to me after years of feeling misunderstood by more traditional approaches. I focus on making the evaluation or therapy process collaborative, validating, and practical so clients leave with language, recommendations, and next steps that genuinely fit their day-to-day life.

I am passionate about fostering understanding of the autism spectrum and promoting neuroaffirmative practices among other professionals.
