Texas Psychologist License #35103 • PSYPACT APIT/Authority # 564

  • Work with: Adults ages 27–60

  • Format: Online therapy only

  • Payment: Private pay only. I do not accept insurance, and I can provide a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement.

  • Getting Started: I offer a free 20 minute consultation to help determine fit

I help late-diagnosed or self-identified ADHD, autistic, and AuDHD adult women (AFAB) who are high-masking, people-pleasing, and chronically overwhelmed make sense of their lives through a neurodivergent-affirming and trauma-informed lens, so they can reduce shame, set boundaries, communicate their needs clearly, and build a life that actually fits their nervous system.

I often work with adults who…

  • Put others’ needs ahead of their own and feel responsible for everyone

  • Feel stuck in people-pleasing and aren’t sure what they want anymore

  • Live in constant overwhelm, burnout, or “always on” exhaustion

  • Carry heavy shame or guilt, and still feel “not good enough” even with achievements

  • Connect with animals in a way that feels natural, while people feel harder to read or trust

  • Want to understand themselves through a neurodivergent lens (e.g., autism/ADHD traits, sensory sensitivity, masking)

  • Are tired of being misunderstood and want relationships that feel safer and more mutual

  •  Want to make sense of past trauma without staying stuck in it

  • Replay conversations later and wish you could show up as yourself without rehearsing

I’m often a strong fit for therapy with me if you’re…

  • Were late-identified or self-identified (or you’re questioning), and want to explore ADHD/autism/AuDHD through a validating, non-pathologizing lens.

  • Seem “high-functioning” to others, but privately you’re running on fumes. Getting out of bed is harder than it used to be, and keeping up with work or home tasks feels overwhelming

  • Mask in relationships and then replay interactions afterward, worrying about what people think and second-guessing how you came across

  • Carry deep shame or guilt for not meeting expectations that perhaps were not your own to begin with

  • Care for others while ignoring your own needs, limits, or body signals which can build a resentment.

  • Feel calmer, safer, or more regulated around animals than around people

  • Want therapy that blends practical support for daily life (tools, routines, boundaries) with deeper meaning-making and self-understanding

I’m probably not the right fit for therapy with me if…

  • Are in crisis, need immediate stabilization, or are experiencing active suicidal thoughts. If you are in immediate danger or need urgent help, call 988 (U.S.), go to your nearest ER, or call emergency services.

  • Are in burnout so severe that you can’t reliably manage basic daily needs most days and likely need more intensive care (multiple sessions per week, IOP/PHP) than I provide.

  • Need court-mandated treatment, custody evaluations, or legal documentation/letters for court

  • Need formal diagnostic testing/evaluation or documentation (letters/forms for disability, school/work accommodations, or other official requirements).

  • Want therapy focused on masking “better” or fitting into harmful expectations rather than building a life that fits you

  • Prefer a highly structured, therapist driven, worksheet-heavy approach (with minimal conversation/relational work)

  • Want short-term therapy with a strict session limit and a fast, guaranteed timeline

  • Want family reconciliation pushed at all costs, even when distance or boundaries are part of safety.

  • Are seeking weekly couples/family therapy as the main focus (I primarily do individual and group work)

  • Are under 27 or over 60—I currently work with adults ages 27–60, so a provider specializing in your age group may be a better fit.

My Approach to Therapy (ACT + neurodivergent-affirming)
I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), with a neurodivergent-affirming lens, adapted for neurodivergent adults. We focus on reducing the struggle with thoughts, shame, and overwhelm so you can build a life that fits your brain and your values. In practice, that looks like learning skills to unhook from self-criticism, make room for big feelings without getting flooded, and take doable steps toward what matters.

My style is collaborative, relational, and practical. I’m not a blank-slate therapist, I’m a real person who offers active collaboration, tools, and gentle accountability. Clients often appreciate that I’m also neurodivergent and understand these experiences from the inside, not just from textbooks.

In therapy sessions, we may work on:

  • Identify sensory and nervous-system needs and create shutdown/meltdown prevention and recovery plans

  • Build executive function supports (planning, routines, transitions, and “good enough” systems)

  • Clarify your communication preferences and needs, and practice tools that don’t require masking (scripts, repair, boundaries)

  • Work trauma-informed, especially when chronic invalidation or masking has been a long-term stressor

  • Work with shame by separating who you are from what you learned to believe about yourself

  • Support healthier relationship patterns (people-pleasing, fawning, conflict avoidance, rejection sensitivity) with practical strategies

  • Loosen all-or-nothing thinking and perfectionism without forcing positive thinking

  • Strengthen psychological flexibility so you can respond to thoughts and emotions in ways that support your values
