Hi, I’m Jessica. I’m a neurodiversity-affirming therapist, and I understand ADHD from the inside.
Maybe you or your child feel overwhelmed by sensory input or big emotions, struggle with focus, routines, or friendships in a world that wasn’t built for your brain, or carry trauma that makes everyday life harder than it should be. Your challenges are real, and your way of experiencing the world is valid.
Living with ADHD myself, I know both the struggles and the strengths of a neurodivergent brain. I love helping clients work with their brain instead of against it, heal from trauma without having to mask, and build systems that actually work for them.
Children, teens, and adults who have or suspect ADHD or autism, who need trauma care that respects their sensory needs, who want a safe place to unmask, or who are tired of coping alone.

I use AutPlay therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), and inference-based CBT (I-CBT) for OCD, along with strengths-based approaches for ADHD and autism. I-CBT works on the doubt that drives obsessions instead of using exposures, which many neurodivergent clients find makes more sense to them.
Sessions are sensory-friendly, with movement breaks and no pressure to make eye contact, and they build on your strengths, like hyperfocus, special interests, and pattern-spotting. We start by understanding what overwhelms you, then build coping tools that fit how you think, and finally grow the confidence to handle a world that isn’t always built for you.
You’ll leave sessions with something practical, whether that’s a coping skill tied to your favorite video game or an organizing system built around your interests. I follow your pace, bring your interests into the room, and respect your body and your boundaries.

Ongoing learning
Every year I keep training in neurodiversity-affirming care, developmental trauma, and coaching for parents of neurodivergent kids.
When I’m not in session, you’ll probably find me gaming (Stardew Valley for cozy days, Skyrim for big adventures), debating the best horror movies (yes, Hereditary got to me too), or rewatching Howl’s Moving Castle for the hundredth time. The gym keeps me grounded, though I’ll never say no to a snack break with a fantasy novel.
Clients tell me I actually get the weird, wonderful, and sometimes dark corners of their minds. Because I love horror and fantasy, “taboo” thoughts don’t faze me. I’ll challenge you when you need it and cheer you on the rest of the time.
Ready when you are
No pressure and no paperwork, just a conversation.
