About me
Hi, I’m Jessica, a neurodiversity-affirming therapist who gets ADHD, Autism, and trauma from lived experience.
If you or your child:
I want you to know: Your challenges are real, and your unique way of processing the world is valid.
As someone with ADHD navigating a neurotypical world, I’ve experienced both the struggles and strengths of neurodivergence firsthand. This fuels my passion for helping clients:
✓Work with your neurotype - channel traits like creativity and hyperfocus where they serve you best
✓ Heal trauma without masking your true self
✓ Build systems that actually work for your brain
I don’t just treat these areas. I champion them because:
I work best with children, teens, and adults who:
• Suspect or have ADHD/Autism diagnoses
• Need trauma care that respects sensory needs
• Want to unmask safely
• Are tired of coping alone

Book a free consultHow I work
I utilize AutPlay Therapy, DBT skills, Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), strength-based interventions tailored for ADHD, Autism, and trauma recovery. My approach goes beyond traditional therapy by incorporating sensory-friendly adaptations (like movement breaks and reduced eye contact) and leveraging clients' unique strengths (hyperfocus, special interests, pattern recognition). I create personalized roadmaps that honor neurodivergent brains: first, we'll identify sensory/emotional triggers; then, develop coping tools that actually work for your wiring; finally, build confidence to thrive in a neurotypical world.
What Makes Our Sessions Different
You'll leave each session with practical strategies - whether it's a TF-CBT coping skill woven into your favorite video game, or an ADHD-friendly organizational system using your special interests. Many clients tell me, "This is the first time therapy hasn't felt forced" because I:
My goal? To help you or your child feel competent, regulated, and proudly authentic.

Beyond the office
When I’m not in sessions, you’ll probably find me gaming (Stardew Valley for cozy vibes, Skyrim for epic escapes), debating the best horror films (yes, Hereditary messed me up too), or rewatching Howl’s Moving Castle for the 100th time. My gym routine keeps me grounded, though I’ll never say no to a snack break with a fantasy novel in hand. Clients tell me they appreciate how ‘Jessica doesn’t just nod: she gets the weird, wonderful, and sometimes dark corners of your brain.’ My love of horror and fantasy means I’m never fazed by ‘taboo’ thoughts, and my approach blends real talk with geeky enthusiasm. Think of me as your therapist-meets-cheerleader: challenging when you need it, but always meeting you where you are, whether that’s a Legally Blonde mood or a Demon Slayer marathon kind of day.
