If you are ready for psychotherapy 2.0 and ready to move into deeper layers of therapeutic work around moral injury and the disenfranchisement that comes with being othered - let's connect. I specialize in the wounding that occurs from traumatic invalidation. This experience occurs at the societal level for those who are neurodivergent, navigating chronic pain and illness or recovering from scapegoat abuse. It occurs in the workplace and at the familial systems level. This patterning can become a wounding that you

may be perpetuating internally - becoming entrenched self-abandonment. Let's dismantle and deconstruct this together.

I have been practicing as a therapist for 20 years and embrace neurodiversity. My approach to therapy is compassion-focused, trauma-informed, and neurodivergence-affirming. I am an independently licensed clinician offering telehealth psychotherapy sessions across NC, MD, VT, MA, PA, MN, FL and VA.

My clinical specialties include late-diagnosed adult neurodivergence, as well as chronic pain and illness—both of which often involve disenfranchised emotional pain and misunderstood needs. I address family of origin issues, including scapegoat abuse, enmeshment, emotional manipulation or neglect and intergenerational abuse/trauma. I draw on Bowen Family Systems and Internal Family Systems to assist clients in navigating codependency, attachment styles, enmeshment versus differentiation and the establishment and maintenance of healthy boundaries.

 

I specialize in supporting clients who are navigating late-diagnosed adult neurodivergence (adult autism, adult ADHD, adult AuDHD) and who are unpacking the adult neurodivergent experience. I also focus heavily in my practice on therapeutic work relating to: chronic pain / chronic illness, burnout, self-abandonment patterns, attachment wounds, parts work, scapegoat abuse, family of origin issues, complex trauma / relational trauma / developmental trauma / C-PTSD, and intergenerational trauma.

​

The constellation of issues in which I specialize, often involves an underlying theme of overlooked or disenfranchised and misunderstood realities, emotional experiences and needs.

 

When this is the experience of encountering the outer world, a tendency to self-gaslight can develop and further perpetuate the damage and fracturing of ones’ internal emotional alignment.
