The soul behind the practice
You deserve a therapist who truly gets it.
Whirlwind Wellness was built for the ones who have always felt a little too much, thought a little too differently, and moved through the world in their own beautiful, complicated way.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with a deep commitment to neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed care. My work is grounded in the belief that your mind is not broken — it is wired differently, and that difference holds profound gifts alongside real challenges.
I specialize in working with ADHD, Autistic, AuDHD, and twice-exceptional (2e) gifted individuals — tweens, teens, and adults who are navigating a world that was not designed with them in mind. I bring warmth, curiosity, and a deep respect for the complexity of your inner life to every session.
My approach draws from Narrative Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Jungian depth psychology, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Eclectic/Integrative methods. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all model — your therapy is shaped around you, your story, and what your body and psyche are asking for.
Outside the therapy room, I am drawn to the liminal spaces — the in-between places where transformation quietly begins. That spirit lives in the name Whirlwind Wellness: the whirlwind as a force of nature that stirs, unsettles, and ultimately clears the way for something new.
What we stand for
The pillars of this practice.
Neurodivergent-Affirming
Your neurodivergence is not a disorder to be corrected. It is a different way of being in the world — one that deserves to be understood, honored, and celebrated.
Trauma-Informed
Every part of you that learned to survive deserves compassion. We move at the pace your nervous system needs, never faster.
Somatic & Body-Led
Healing is not only cognitive. We listen to what your body holds — the tension, the stillness, the knowing that lives beneath words.
Depth & Story
Your life is a narrative worth exploring. Jungian and Narrative approaches help us find the deeper patterns, archetypes, and meanings woven through your experience.
Integrative & Eclectic
No single modality holds all the answers. We draw from many traditions — weaving together what serves you most in this moment of your journey.
Affirming of All Identities
This is a space for LGBTQ+ individuals, neurodivergent people, and anyone who has ever felt like they did not quite fit the mold, including people who follow non-traditional spiritual paths.
Our philosophy
Healing lives in the space between mind, body, and spirit.
Therapy at Whirlwind Wellness is not about fixing what is wrong with you. It is about returning to yourself — to the parts that got buried under years of masking, surviving, and performing normalcy. Together we create a space where your full self is welcome: the tender parts, the fierce parts, the parts that are still figuring it out.
"You are not too much. You have simply never been given enough space."
