When neurodivergence meets Internal Family Systems (IFS),
healing happens.

Do you ever get the sense that you’re having a very different experience‍ moving through the world than people around you?

Neurodiversity welcome here — Learn more

I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy to work with people who have neurodivergent systems (think ADHD, Autism, and other differences in perception and brain “wiring”). IFS helps us tap into the unique strengths of your neurodivergence to heal trauma and nurture your system.

Bringing it together

Neurodivergence

Know your wiring

Work with your Parts

Settling in to Self

Where do we start?

Find your path.
Blaze your trail.

I invite you to explore the landscape of your system:

Develop a deep understanding of your own nervous system: its needs, vulnerabilities, where it shines
Cultivate respect, appreciation, and care for your system
Know how to talk about your brain and nervous system to others (which may involve some code-switching), and advocate for yourself
Find your people if you haven’t already—the ones who see and love you as you are
Contemplate and name what is most important to you in your life, and what is not

And how are we going to do all that? Well, we’ve got a map…

This is where IFS comes in
