We are sensory beings with unique neurologies... 

Sights, sounds, tastes, touch, and movement in our environment impact how we feel, what we think, how we relate and how we behave.  For many of us, sensory experiences can bring great pleasure, like the smell of coffee brewing in the morning or the feel of warm sunlight on our skin. And for many others, sensory experiences can bring high irritation, confusion or even pain. Anxiety may rise after just a few minutes in a loud, crowded room; being sensitive to food textures or clothing can become overwhelming.  

I have specific training and expertise in the treatment of sensory processing differences, having studied & worked with pioneers in the field. I understand how these sensitivities impact a person's emotional development, relationship experiences, learning & attention capacities, and overall quality of well-being.     

It is an important time in the fields of mental health and neuroscience, as they come together to understand human behavior and the rich & varied experiences of neurodiversity. Just as sensory processing differences manifest in various forms, such as sensory over-responsivity, under-responsivity, craving & discrimination, neurodivergence is an umbrella term referring to different experiences in information processing, self-expression, attention and relational differences.

I am experienced, educated in, and very much enjoy working with people who identify as neurodivergent. Having started my career in psychology working with children with developmental differences, I am encouraged and enthusiastic about adults seeking to understand themselves & their own neurodivergence.
