My work centers on the places where chronic shame has quietly organized a life — shaping how much you hide, how hard you push, and how far away you feel from yourself and others. I specialize in working with neurodivergent adults, including those with autism, ADHD, and late diagnoses who are still reconstructing their identity after years of masking and misattunement. I work with burnout not as a productivity problem but as a nervous system one, with loneliness that runs deeper than circumstance, and with the particular grief of people who understand the climate crisis well enough that optimism feels dishonest. Whatever brings someone to therapy — a diagnosis, a divorce, a creativity that won't move — the underlying territory is usually the same, and that's where we go.

Approach to Therapy

I'm an Internal Family Systems Practitioner trained through all three levels of the IFS Institute, with additional training in neurodivergent-affirming approaches. I've been practicing for over five years, working exclusively via telehealth with adults in Colorado. My approach is built on a simple premise: real change means you don't have to rely on willpower. When the internal conditions shift — when the parts of you running old protective patterns no longer need to — behavior changes without forcing it. That shift almost always involves working with chronic shame, which is the underlying driver of most of what brings people to therapy: anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship rupture, and the feeling of being fundamentally unacceptable. In session I'm direct, engaged, and genuinely curious. I take your nervous system seriously. I'm not a good fit for clients looking primarily for symptom management or coping tools — the work here has a direction.
