‍ ‍Individual Therapy

You’re deeply affected by the world around you and process life with depth and creativity. You may find yourself chronically overstimulated, exhausted by overthinking, or worn down by years of masking and adapting to environments that were never designed with your nervous system in mind.

Whether you identify as highly sensitive or an empath, or are navigating ADHD, autism, or other forms of neurodivergence, you might feel like the pace of the world is fundamentally out of sync with the way you experience it.

Perhaps you struggle with perfectionism, executive dysfunction, sensory overwhelm, hyperfocus, shutdown, or the constant effort of trying to appear more functional than you actually feel. You may have learned to criticize yourself for needing more rest, more solitude, more recovery time, or simply more space to be yourself.

As a therapist with ADHD, I know that therapy isn’t about teaching you to fit more comfortably into a neurotypical world. It’s about understanding how you work, loosening the shame around your needs, and creating a life that feels more sustainable.

Areas of Focus

• Masking and Burnout: Untangling the exhaustion of constantly adapting, performing, and overriding your own needs. This can include executive dysfunction, sensory overload, shutdown, and the grief that comes with recognizing how much energy masking has cost you.

• Shame and Self-Criticism: Challenging the internalized belief that your intensity, sensitivity, needs, or nonlinear way of functioning are problems to overcome.

• Boundaries and Relational Sovereignty: Moving away from compulsive caretaking, people-pleasing, and overextension toward clearer boundaries, authentic self-advocacy, and relationships where there is room for you, too.

• The Body and Nervous System: Paying attention to how your body communicates overwhelm, safety, desire, and the need for restoration. Therapy may incorporate somatic and creative approaches, with ketamine-assisted therapy available when clinically appropriate.

• Therapy offers a collaborative, unhurried space to understand your particular way of being in the world and loosen the survival strategies that no longer serve you. The goal isn’t to make you less sensitive, less intense, or more palatable to other people. It’s to make more room for  your pace, vitality, your needs, and connection.

• I provide online therapy for ADHD, neurodivergence, and highly sensitive individuals throughout California, using a neurodivergent-affirming and integrative approach grounded in the belief that you do not need to become someone else in order to feel at home in your life.

Life with chronic illness changes everything. Every decision takes energy, leaving you exhausted and frustrated. Beyond the physical symptoms, chronic illness reshapes your mind, heart, and identity. Grief, isolation, fear, and frustration are real. You may feel disconnected, angry, or numb. The part of you that once pushed through may still be trying, and the weight can feel overwhelming.

The Trauma of Chronic Illness
Living with a chronic condition can create ongoing trauma. Repeated hospital visits, setbacks, invalidation, and the pressure to “keep going” take a toll on your nervous system. This kind of trauma is invisible but deeply impactful, affecting your sense of safety, self, and well-being.

A Gentle, Integrative Approach
In our work together, we focus on healing both the physical and emotional impact:

• Talk therapy when you’re ready

• Art therapy for expression when words aren’t enough

• Somatic awareness to reconnect with your body

• Building self-trust and intuitive connection

Healing Looks Like:

• Feeling safe in your body and relationships

• Letting go of rumination, guilt, or regret

• Learning skills to calm your nervous system

• Imagining a future that feels possible, grounded, and free

You don’t need to earn rest or worthiness. Rest and care are allowed. Perfection is not required for peace or love. We’ll explore ways to feel empowered in your body, at ease in your mind, and compassionate toward yourself.

You feel stuck. Inspiration is distant. This isn’t just a dry spell. Creative burnout often ties to anxiety, perfectionism, and fear of failure.

Together, we’ll:

• Explore what stalls your creative process

• Regulate your nervous system

• Quiet inner criticism

• Reconnect with authentic expression

Reclaiming Your Creative Flow:

• Address anxiety or self-doubt

• Explore identity, purpose, and creative self-worth

• Reignite sustainable inspiration

• Cultivate practices that support flow without burnout

Therapy helps you create from curiosity, not pressure, and reconnect with your natural creative spark.
