Masking takes a toll that most people don't see. Maybe the exhaustion crashes over you halfway through a shift, during errands along Alpine Avenue. Sensory overload might spike while walking on the White Pine Trail or at Mill Creek Tavern. We work with those real, specific moments—so the changes we build actually show up in your daily life in Comstock Park.
My style is direct, no-nonsense, and practical. We keep sessions steady, work at your pace, and focus on tools you can use after work meetings, before a commute, or during quiet evenings at home. The aim is less masking, clearer self-understanding, and more room to be yourself.

Comstock Park, MI
My Approach
I combine body-based regulation skills with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to work with masking, executive functioning challenges, and emotional dysregulation. When it fits your goals, I use Brainspotting to access the deep brain where automatic responses live and help you unmask at a neurological level. I also utilize HeartMath to help you realign with your body and trust your intuition rather than societal conditioning. We set realistic goals, check what actually works for your brain, and keep adjustments sized for a normal Comstock Park week.

FAQ
What will we focus on first for neurodivergence?
We start with understanding your patterns and how masking shows up in your daily life. Then we build concrete tools for nervous system regulation, executive functioning, and communication that you can use before work, after social events, and during downtime.
Do I need a formal diagnosis?
Not at all. Many people self-identify as neurodivergent, and you'll find only affirmation here. Whether you have ADHD, Autism, sensory processing differences, or OCD, what matters is that you recognize yourself in these experiences.
Is online an option if I cannot drive down?
I offer secure telehealth when appropriate. If online is not a fit, we meet in person in Suite 303 on East Beltline.
