Lets work out how to make sense to the tangles in the tapestry. I bring humour, warmth, and realness into the therapy space because I believe healing happens when we feel truly seen, not judged. My passion? Supporting neurodivergent and disabled individuals in a world that often doesn’t accommodate us. I know firsthand how exhausting it can be to mask, to push through burnout, or to feel like you’re "too much" or "not enough" at the same time. In my space, you don’t have to explain why your brain works the way it does, I already get it.

In our sessions, we create a space where you don’t have to mask, explain, or prove yourself. We work together to figure out what actually helps, without forcing neurotypical strategies that were never designed for your brain.

What Happens in a Session?

We start by checking in. How has your week been? What’s been overwhelming, frustrating, or even exciting? From there, we explore what’s coming up for you, whether that’s struggles with focus, burnout, relationships, self-doubt, or just feeling like the world wasn’t built for you.

How Do We Work Together?

• We work with your brain, not against it- whether that means breaking things down into small, manageable steps, using creative problem-solving, or embracing different ways of thinking and doing things.

• We explore patterns that might be keeping you stuck- not to judge, but to understand and find new ways forward.

• We validate your experiences and help you unlearn any shame you’ve been carrying about being "too much" or "not enough."

• We build practical tools to manage overwhelm, set boundaries, and navigate a world that often doesn’t accommodate neurodivergence or disability.

There’s no pressure to show up a certain way. Some days, we’ll have deep conversations; other days, we might need to focus on immediate, real-life struggles. Whether you need structure or a free-flowing space to process, we adapt to what you need.

We work together to create a therapy experience that feels right for you-because healing should never feel like trying to fit into a box that wasn’t built for you in the first place.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
