What I do

​

I offer neurointegrative support that blends neuroscience, Internal Family Systems (IFS), sensory, and embodiment practices to help you understand your neurotype, foster self-discovery, and healing. Together, we explore how your brain, body, and nervous system work so you can make sense of why you experience the world the way you do. 

​

At the heart of my work is Internal Family Systems (IFS), a respectful, non-pathologizing model that helps you connect with the different parts of yourself. These might include parts that mask to stay safe, parts that shut down from overwhelm, or parts that push through exhaustion to meet expectations. We view these parts not as problems but as intelligent responses to a world that hasn’t always made room for who you are. By listening to them, rather than fighting against them, you begin to understand not only your behaviors but also the logic behind them. You’ll learn how your sensory system, predictive mind, and protective parts all work together to keep you safe in a world that often misunderstands you.

​

Who I work with

​

I work with autistic adults, mixed-neurology couples, and parents who are trying to understand what’s happening beneath the surface, often after years of feeling misread, stuck, or out of sync with themselves or each other. Some of my clients are formally diagnosed. Others are not, or aren’t sure. What they have in common is a sense that the way they experience the world - sensory input, relationships, motivation, overwhelm - hasn’t been well understood.

​

This work is not about changing who you are. It’s about noticing patterns of behavior, making sense of what’s happening in your system, and finding a way forward that feels more authentic.
