Therapy for Bright, Sensitive, Autistic & AuDHD Teens and Adults who feel overwhelmed and Anxious

.

I work with clients who feel deeply, think deeply, and are often overwhelmed by emotions, expectations, and a world that can move fast and be tough. You may be intelligent and self-aware, yet still struggle with burnout, anxiety, masking, or feeling misunderstood.

You may:

  • Feel everything more intensely than others

  • Get overwhelmed quickly, even when you “should” be fine

  • Overthink conversations, relationships, or scenarios

  • Feel exhausted from masking or pushing through

  • Struggle to regulate emotions, shutdown, and burnout

  • Look capable on the outside but feel overwhelmed internally

Many of my clients have spent years feeling “too sensitive,” “too much,” “stuck,” or like something isn’t quite working — despite being thoughtful, intelligent, and deeply empathetic. Many of my clients have a diagnoses of Autism or ADHD, but some come to counseling to explore the possibility because they relate to the neurodivergent experience.

i offer In-person therapy in Brentwood and the greater Nashville area, with virtual counseling available throughout Tennessee and Texas

I integrate person centered, EMDR, and IFS-informed therapy approach to help process underlying patterns, safely process trauma, reduce emotional reactivity, and create lasting change.

Therapy with me is:

  • Practical and insight-oriented

  • Validating, safe, & trauma informed

  • Neurodivergent affirming & tailored to how your brain and nervous system function

I am neurodivergent myself and bring both lived and clinical experience, including work with families of autistic individuals across varying levels of support needs.
