Online Therapy for Trauma, Grief, and Neurodivergence Across Oregon

Therapy that feels like a lantern in the dark; you don’t have to find your way alone.

“Pain arrives, BANG, and there it is, it sits on you. It's real. And to anybody watching, you look foolish. Like you've suddenly become an idiot. There's no cure for it unless you know somebody who understands how you feel, and knows how to help.”
— Charles Bukowski

I specialize in helping neurodivergent adults who are struggling with trauma, grief, or burnout to find relief from the past, lean into what fulfills them, heal from what doesn’t, and meet it all with curiosity, tenacity, and a little humor when needed.

When everything feels too heavy to carry on your own

I get it. You’re tired, you’re hurting, and you want things to be different, but you’re not sure how to get there.

You might be capable, self-aware, and still feel like you’re never fully at ease. Like you’re always adjusting, waiting for the next shoe to drop, or keeping parts of yourself tucked away.

I work with those who want to feel more at home in themselves: to settle into their interests, their relationships, and their lives without trying so hard to be okay.

  • Repeating the same patterns, even when you understand why, want something different

  • Oscillating between pushing through and shutting down

  • Living with a constant undercurrent of self-doubt, self-criticism, or just being hard on yourself

  • Feeling like you have to “move on”, yet grieving things that are hard to name or talk about

  • Feeling disconnected from your own needs, wants, or sense of vitality and energy

You don’t need to know how you want to heal or have the right words; being here is enough to begin.

If you are…

Specializing in…

    • You maybe appear functional on the outside, but inside you feel on edge, shut down, or chronically overwhelmed

    • You don’t have one clear “trauma,” but you grew up adapting to emotional absence, unpredictability, or having to be the responsible one too early

    • Your body reacts before your mind can catch up—through tension, numbness, panic, or collapse

    • You notice patterns in relationships, self-talk, or emotional reactions that made sense once, but now feel exhausting or hard to change

    • You’ve tried coping strategies or insight-based therapy and still feel like something deeper hasn’t been touched or dealt with

    • Your relationship with food or your body feels tense, emotionally charged, or out of control

    • You feel disconnected from your body, or only notice it through criticism, shame, or disappointment

    • You’re exhausted by “fixing,” dieting, or being told to just love your body

    • Food, control, or body focus has been a way to cope with stress, emotions, trauma, or grief

    • You want a way of relating to your body that feels calmer, kinder, and more livable, not performatively or hollowly positive

    • You may be late-diagnosed (or diagnosed in childhood, but not treated until you were an adult) or self-identified and still making sense of your neurodivergence

    • Life feels overwhelming, exhausting, or like it requires constant self-monitoring or maintenance

    • You’ve internalized the idea that you’re “too much,” “not enough,” or just bad at life

    • You experience intense cycles of chronic overwhelm, stress, and shame leading to shutdown and burnout

    • You want support that works with your brain, not against it

    • You’re grieving something others don’t fully recognize or know how to hold, no matter how long ago it’s been

    • Your loss shows up in waves: emotionally, physically, relationally

    • You feel pressure to “move on,” make meaning, or be okay before you actually are

    • Your grief is tangled with trauma, identity shifts, or neurodivergence

    • You want space to honor what’s been lost without being rushed or fixed

you don’t have to do this alone, take the lantern:

let’s walk through this together

After working with me, clients often tell me they feel:

  • Less alone, feeling too much, or like they’re not enough

  • A deeper sense of safety and belonging in themselves and others

  • More trusting of themselves, their instincts, boundaries, and needs

  • More grounded in what they value, their relationships, and how they want to live

  • Hopeful for what’s next in their life, even if they’ve never felt this before

Not because they were “fixed,” but because they were deeply seen, understood, and supported in walking with them.

If you felt seen while reading any of this, that’s all you need to begin.
