You’re exhausted by the constant pressure to perform and fit in—at school, in relationships, in a world that wasn’t built for how your brain works. I work with kids (10+), teens, and young adults navigating ADHD, autism, queer identity, or “gifted kid” burnout. For many, masking isn’t just tiring—it’s a trauma response built up over years of not feeling safe to be yourself. Whether you’re 10 or 24, you land here when school, relationships, or expectations start to feel unsustainable. Using DBT, CBT, and ACT, I help you process what’s underneath the mask and build tools that actually fit how your brain works—not generic coping scripts. I keep things honest, direct, and refreshingly free of clinical jargon—because you deserve real answers, not performance. Using DBT, CBT, and ACT, we work through trauma, school-induced meltdowns, and relationship friction, building tools that fit how your brain actually works. No generic coping scripts. Just care that meets you where you are. Therapy shouldn’t be another chore on your list. I know the exhaustion of pretending everything’s fine when it isn’t, and that masks didn’t come from nowhere. If you’re a parent looking for relief, or a young person searching for a therapist who actually gets it, you deserve a path that doesn’t ask you to shrink to fit in.
