Looking for More Individualized Support?

My work is neurodivergent-affirming and queer-affirming, and I specialize in supporting high-achieving women and femmes navigating anxiety, ADHD, perfectionism, relationship struggles, career stress and burnout, and the broader challenges of early-mid adulthood.
