Individual Psychotherapy
For Highly Sensitive, Neurodivergent, and Deeply Self-Aware Adults Seeking Root-Level Change
If you’re here, you’ve likely done a lot of work already.
You’ve read the books, listened to the podcasts, collected every skill your past therapists recommended, and can map out your patterns with color-coded arrows if asked.
And yet you still find yourself overwhelmed, shutting down, spiraling into shame, replaying conversations, bracing for rejection, or contorting yourself to avoid disappointing anyone.
Knowing why hasn’t translated into feeling or acting any differently.
That’s the kind of stuckness that lights me up… because it means you’re on the precipice of true transformation.
A Bottom-Up Approach
I work at the level where change actually happens: the nervous system, the emotional learning, the parts of you that formed through past experiences and haven’t yet updated to the present.
When the underlying patterns shift, the top-down skills you already have finally click into place.
This approach may be right for you if—
You want therapy that shifts patterns, not just creates insight.
You’re done talking in circles, recapping your week, or leaving sessions unsure if anything shifted. You want depth, direction, and integration rather than endless analysis.
You want work that goes beyond reframing thoughts.
You’re exhausted with policing your thoughts. You want approaches that makes it feel easier and more natural to show up the way you want.
You want to stop reacting to the past as if it’s still happening.
You recognize that your reactions don’t match the present; they match something older. You want modalities that help your body update, not just give you more strategies to manage old pain.
You want therapy that is focused, intentional, and efficient.
You aren’t looking for multi-year therapy. You want to find and address the root of your issues and get back to creating a fulfilling life.
These are the areas where my clients most often experience real shifts
Rejection sensitivity & people-pleasing
Self-criticism & perfectionism
Late diagnosed ADHD, autism, masking, sensory overwhelm
Overthinking & rumination
Relational trauma, attachment wounds, betrayal
Emotional shutdown, freeze, shame spirals
Identity clarity, agency, and self-trust
Modalities I Blend
What You Can Expect From Me
-
I aim to balance compassion and directness in equal measure. If something needs to be named, I name it, plainly and kindly. You don’t need to read between the lines. If it’s hard to hear, I stay with you while it lands.
-
The “yep, that’s your pattern” smile. The “your system is brilliant even when it’s inconvenient” smile. You can know it means I see you, not I’m judging you.
-
I won’t joke at your pain, but I do introduce the kind of lightness that creates perspective and reduces attachment. I want to make just enough space between you and the problem to see it clearly and work with it in a new way.
-
I hold a clear sense of direction and will guide us toward the outcomes you want. You don’t have to carry the session, fill space, or guess at the point.
-
I don’t say things I don’t mean. When I validate you or point out your progress, it’s because it’s true, not because it’s polite. I don’t people-please in the therapy room, and I don’t offer empty reassurance. You don’t have to wonder if I “have to say that.”
-
I help you see where you have choices, what’s yours to own, and what was never yours. We’ll separate old survival strategies from present-day reality, so your decisions come from clarity, not fear.
Let’s Talk Logistics
Frequency & Format
Weekly (60 min) or Biweekly (90 min) sessions via a secure telehealth for Washington-based adult clients.
*Additional states coming in 2026 through licensure expansion and the interstate compact for licensed clinical social workers. Send me an email to get notified when states are added.
Timeline
Most clients work with me weekly for about six months to a year before transitioning to less frequent sessions.
It depends on how long it takes to move through the layers that aren’t actually yours.
I keep the work focused and intentional, without rushing your nervous system or dragging things out.
Fees
Initial Intake
90 minutes; one time
$280
Weekly Sessions
60 minutes

-
Yes. Therapy is an eligible healthcare expense, and you can use HSA/FSA funds for all sessions, including the intake.
-
Yes. I use a self-selected sliding scale so you can choose the rate that fits your financial circumstances. You can view the tiered structure here
-
I’m an out-of-network provider.
This gives me the flexibility to do deeper work without insurance dictating session length, frequency, diagnosis requirements, or what is considered “medically necessary.” It also protects your privacy; no information is shared with insurance unless you choose to submit for reimbursement.
If you have out-of-network benefits, I can check them for you so you know exactly what your expected reimbursement would be. I provide superbills for clients who want to submit claims themselves.
If you know you’re unlikely to follow-through on submitting paperwork, I also partner with a reimbursement service that files, tracks, and resubmits claims on your behalf for a 5% service charge. Many clients prefer this because it removes the administrative burden entirely.
Availability
I keep only a few spots for ongoing therapy. It allows me to show up fully, protect my limits, and take on only the clients I believe I can help in a uniquely meaningful way.
