Neurodiverse-informed couples counseling often brings relief after years of misunderstandings. Neurotypical partners may feel invalidated or "gaslighted," while neurodiverse partners feel overwhelmed. Key communication differences include logical vs. emotional, concrete vs. abstract, absolute vs. relative, and avoidant vs. insistent styles. Recovery involves recognizing how neurological differences affect interactions and then working through structured steps to rebuild acceptance and love.

Life moments can be challenging and it can be difficult to carry the stress on our own. As someone who has experience working with many populations, such as the LGBTQ+ and Latino/x populations, along with people in crisis, my approach to therapy is to provide a safe space. During sessions, I utilize aspects of art therapy and person centered therapy. I am here for you. Additionally, I am supervised by Dr. Pamela Reeves and I am available to see clients through telehealth.
In the private telehealth setting, with a nonjudgmental and compassionate approach, we can explore the sources of your stress, change destructive behaviors, and the root of thought patterns, relationship interactions, and overall life improvement together.
Do you feel like your body has betrayed you—constantly exhausted, in pain, or struggling with symptoms no one seems to understand?

In therapy, we’ll create space to process your emotions, build coping tools that truly fit your life, and help you move forward with more ease, self-compassion, and a renewed sense of control.
My clients are adults and families with anxiety, depression, learning differences such as dyslexia and ADHD, and those who are questioning possible neurodivergence/learning differences. I also work with partners/spouses who are navigating different neurotypes, infidelity, the decision to have a family, addiction, or conflict due to differences in sexual desire or political beliefs. In my 15 years in my silver lake practice I truly have helped people in many different situations.
I work with individuals who are struggling with emotional overwhelm, self-doubt, and challenging relational dynamics.

My LGBTQIA2S+ clients are acutely in tune with authenticity. At times, this quality can cause life to feel heavy and overwhelming. The worry, stress or fear can cause folx to feel stuck. The things that once helped, no longer work. Many of my clients have experienced depression, anxiety and trauma. Our journey together can help navigate these things and create a map for what is next.
My clients want someone who will meet them where they are at and sometimes, that's a complicated space and that my friend is Ok! Life did not give any of us a handbook and a manual with clear directions for how to handle things, and to be honest the books out there seem to be created with someone else's vision. You can write your as you go! My clients will appreciate the safe space and gentle challenges that arise in therapy.

Have you suffered the trauma of being betrayed by an intimate partner? The act of betrayal can shatter your confidence and rattle the very foundation that you have built over time. You can feel like you are constantly on edge and overwhelmed, not know what step you need to take next. These can be post-traumatic stress. The overwhelming emotions it brings up are difficult to manage alone, but with someone who understands what you are feeling by their side, they become easier to work through.
