I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with over 10 years of experience. I am also a late-diagnosed ADHDer who is naturally inquisitive, creative, and highly sensitive. I hold a lifelong interest and passion for brain science. As a clinical social worker with a background in psychology, this has manifested in a desire to understand the unique neurobiological and sensory processes of neurodivergent humans (especially those assigned female at birth) and the intersection of operating in a society that wasn't built for us. I orient towards an integrated, neurodiversity-affirming, humanistic, client-centered, and psychoeducational approach rooted in Polyvagal Theory that builds off both my education and training as well as my personal experience as a neurodivergent woman.
Superwell Specialties.
Neurodivergent-Specific Support
(Individual, Parent and Group Therapy)
I offer psychotherapeutic services to neurodivergent adults, with a specific focus on adhd. As a late-diagnosed female, I am particularly drawn to working with late-diagnosed women and integrating neuroscientific psychoeducation into the unmasking process. I am a firm believer in the power of understanding your brain to guide your healing. I have extensive experience as a special education social worker in public schools, and I am passionate about helping parents and caregivers of neurodivergent youth navigate the IEP process, and empowering them as they advocate for neurodiversity-affirming school supports for their child.
I am am ADHD certified clinical services provider, which means I have completed a 30+ hour intensive training course in evidence-based strategies for managing ADHD across the lifespan.

Interior home design (constantly moving furniture, searching for perfect art and antiques), art projects with my kids, and an endless number of "started but never finished" hobbies like cross stitching, pottery, and paint-by-numbers.

Curate a life for my family centered on adventure and experiential learning through traveling, buy a hobby farm, and donate the remainder to causes I care about.
