The Highland Practice

Trauma-Informed, Attachment-Based, Neurodivergent Supporting Therapy Services in Washington and Texas.

Navigating life’s challenges can feel overwhelming. As a trauma-informed, attachment-based therapist with more than 15 years of experience, I understand how difficult it can be to find the right support. Clients dealing with trauma, ADHD, autism, or chronic pain who struggle with work or relationship issues, religious trauma, and parenting challenges find a safe space to be heard and understood, supported in confronting life’s complexities with tailored strategies that align with their strengths and limitations. I partner with you to find the most effective path forward, fostering meaningful progress and growth.

My empathic, intuitive approach, using evidenced-based interventions, visuals and humor, supports meaningful progress. I specialize in trauma and supporting neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD and autism. As a neurodivergent individual myself, I bring unique perspective and deep understanding of the challenges you face.

Taking the first step toward seeking help can be daunting, but you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to support you in identifying what hasn’t been addressed and determining the next steps to take. Together, we can work towards living a more fulfilling and meaningful life. If you’re ready to embark on this journey, I invite you to reach out.
