You're not failing.
Your brain is stuck in survival mode.
Most people who land here have already tried to "do better."
More effort.
More insight.
More pushing through.​​​​​
​​
This isn't a motivation problem.
And it isn't because you aren't trying hard enough.
​
Instead of teaching you how to "cope better," therapy here helps your brain follow through.
Welcome to
Divergent Paths Therapy
In-person and telehealth therapy for teens, young adults, and adults with ADHD, autism, AuDHD, and complex trauma in Los Angeles and across California.
Is This You?
This might sound familiar:
​​
• You feel constantly mentally "on," yet exhausted and stuck
• You understand what's holding you back, but can't turn insight into action
• You want real change, but struggle to maintain momentum
• You're not interested in therapy that feels clinical and one-size-fits-all
​
​
​
​
Where this path can lead:
• Understand how your brain works so you can stop fighting yourself
• Turn awareness into actions that actually stick
• Build momentum without relying on willpower or shame
• Receive tailored support you can apply directly to everyday life
​
​
My Approach
Therapy with me is built to work in real life, not just inside the therapy room.
​
• Proactive, flexible, and grounded in multiple approaches
• Structured without being rigid
• Thoughtful, collaborative, and human (with room for humor)
This isn’t about forcing techniques that don’t fit or talking in circles that never translate into real change.
We focus on understanding how your patterns formed, updating them when they're no longer serving you, and strengthening the self-regulation skills that allow new behaviors to hold.
The goal is for therapy to help you relate to yourself with more curiosity and compassion instead of shame -- so your patterns become easier to understand and easier to change.​
​
My work draws from several evidence-based approaches, including compassion-focused therapy, internal parts work, and body-based methods such as Brainspotting and EFT tapping. We use what fits, discard what doesn’t, and adjust as your needs evolve.
Areas

How we work together
You don’t need to be fixed.
You need support that works with your mind, not against it.
I work with neurodivergent, creative, and highly sensitive people who feel exhausted from trying to force themselves into environments that don't fit them.
As a neurodivergent person and therapist, I bring both lived experience and specialized training to my approach. I help clients focus on regulating their nervous system so that life feels less overwhelming, decisions become clearer, and relationships no longer feel like constant effort.
​
If you've spent years trying to adapt to systems that weren't built for how your brain functions, the gap you feel isn't a personal failure.
It usually means you've been carrying too much on your own.
