Hi, I'm Lisa.
Therapy that makes sense for neurodivergent individuals and couples.
For autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD adults, and couples navigating different ways of processing, communicating, and connecting.
Understand yourself, your nervous system, and your relationships more clearly, especially when other approaches haven't quite fit.
Book a consultation
15 to 20 minutes to ask questions and talk about fit.
What happens during the call?
You share a little about what you're looking for, I explain my approach, and we talk about whether we're a good fit. If so, we find an appointment time. No pressure, no commitment.
A place to feel understood
You may be holding a lot together.
Maybe you get through the day, but there’s very little left afterward. You may be making sense of a late diagnosis, noticing how much you mask, or wondering why pushing harder no longer works.
Or you and your partner may care deeply about each other and still leave the same conversations feeling misunderstood.
We can get curious about what’s happening: what takes energy, what overwhelm feels like, and what support actually helps.
Ways we can work together
Support for you and your relationships

Warm, direct, and curious about you.
I’m Lisa. I’m relational first, which means the relationship we build is central to how I work. I’ll ask questions, listen closely, and stay curious about what helps you. If something isn’t helping, we can talk about it and adjust.
More about how I workYou help shape our work.
We’ll decide together what to focus on. You can disagree, ask for a different approach, or let me know you need to slow down.
Your needs deserve respect.
We’ll consider sensory needs, communication, energy, and the demands around you. Appearing more neurotypical is not the goal.
We’ll consider the whole picture.
When trauma is part of your story, we’ll explore it alongside your neurodivergent experience and what is happening in your life now.

A few things you might be wondering
Questions before we meet
How do I know if we might be a good fit?
I work with ADHD and autistic adults, including people who are both, and couples whose different ways of processing and communicating keep getting in the way of connection. If you are not sure, the consultation is a good place to explore it together.
Do I need a diagnosis to start therapy?
No. You do not need a diagnosis or an assessment to begin therapy. If you later want clarity about ADHD, autism, or both, I offer assessments separately.
What does neurodivergent-centered and affirming mean?
It means your ways of processing, communicating, sensing, and relating help shape our work together. We get curious about your needs, capacity, and what actually helps. I don't want therapy to become another place where you have to perform or push past your limits.
How does online therapy work?
We meet by video. You just need a private space and a reliable connection. I see adults and couples in California and Texas.
What are your hours?
Regular appointments are Monday 8 am to 3 pm, Tuesday 8 am to 3 pm, Wednesday 8 am to 2 pm, Thursday 8 am to 3 pm, and Friday 8 am to 2 pm. All times Pacific. The Thursday RO DBT group meets 3:30 to 5:30 pm Pacific.
Do you take insurance?
In California I work with IEHP, Cigna, Aetna, United, Anthem, and private pay. In Texas, private pay only. Insurance coverage varies by service, so contact me to confirm whether a specific service is covered.
