About Sound Mind Counseling

The journey can be frustrating, confusing, and isolating, but you don’t have to do it alone anymore.

At Sound Mind Counseling, we specialize in neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed mental healthcare designed with the unique needs of ADHDers, autistics, and trauma survivors in mind.

As a late-diagnosed AuDHDer (autism + ADHD), I blend clinical expertise with lived experience to create a space where you don’t have to explain or justify your neurodivergence.

Together, we’ll:

  • Use your special interests as healing tools

  • Challenge internalized ableism

  • Address burnout and sensory overwhelm

  • Reconnect with your authentic self beyond the mask

Why Choose Sound Mind Counseling?

  • Therapy should honor the diversity of human minds. Whether you have ADHD, autism, or any other neurodivergence, our approach is centered around celebrating your brain, not trying to change it.

  • For many, if not all of us, the journey to self-acceptance involves healing from past trauma. With trauma-informed care, every session is designed to provide a safe, non-judgmental space.

  • I bring a range of specialized skills to support your healing:

    • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): This evidence-based therapy is highly effective for healing from trauma, whether it stems from childhood, religious conditioning, or other life stressors.

    • Gottman Method Couples Therapy: A research-backed approach that strengthens relationships through enhanced communication, emotional connection, and conflict resolution.

    • Neuroaffirming ADHD Assessments: I offer comprehensive assessments to help you understand your ADHD and develop strategies that support your strengths.

    • Neuroaffirming Autism Assessments: I offer specialized autism assessments, providing a clearer understanding of your neurodivergence and supporting your personal growth.

    • PDA-Affirming Provider: As a provider listed on the PDA-Affirming Provider Directory, I have specialized knowledge and experience working with individuals with Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), offering tailored support for this unique profile.
