Welcome to My Office: A Cozy, Neurodivergent-Friendly Space for All Ages
As a therapist, my office isn’t just a place where sessions happen, it’s a space where healing, growth, laughter (and sometimes tears) unfold. Over time, I’ve intentionally designed my room to feel more like a cozy den than a clinical space, because I believe that how we feel in a space deeply influences how we show up in it.
Whether you're a child, teen, or adult, especially if you're neurodivergent, my hope is that the moment you walk through the door, you can take a deep breath and think, "Okay… I can be myself here."
A Space That Feels Like You Can Exhale
Let’s be honest: therapy can feel vulnerable. I’ve built an environment that works hard to soften that. There are soft lighting options (no harsh fluorescents here), cozy textures, and seating that invites you to curl up, sprawl out, or wiggle around, whatever your body needs in the moment.
And yes, if you want to kick off your shoes and put your feet up, I love that. It tells me you’re letting your guard down and settling in, which is exactly what I want this space to encourage.
Thoughtfully Designed with Neurodivergence in Mind
Because I work with many neurodivergent clients, I’ve put a lot of care into making my office feel safe, calming, and supportive for all kinds of nervous systems. Some of the things you’ll find in the space include:
Fidget tools and grounding items that are easy to grab whenever needed
A variety of activities to support expression, movement, or focus
Visuals that are both calming and engaging, without being overwhelming
Gentle background sounds and light scents to help soothe overstimulation
The goal is to offer comfort and choice — so you can use the space in a way that feels right for you. Everyone deserves a room that works with their brain, not against it.
Seasonal Vibes with a Purpose
One of my favorite parts of curating the space is decorating it for the seasons, months, or meaningful holidays. Whether it's cozy fall leaves, a pop of spring color, or something festive in December, the changing decor helps bring a sense of rhythm and comfort to the space. It’s a small way of saying, “Hey, I see where we are in the year — and I see you, too.”
Alongside these changes, I like to integrate psychoeducation materials that reflect the season's emotional themes, like managing overwhelm during the holidays, setting intentions in the new year, or building resilience during transitions. You'll often find visual reminders or take-home tools to support whatever you’re working through.
Personality Meets Professionalism
Yes, this is a therapy office — but it’s also a reflection of who I am. You’ll find bits of me in the room too: a favorite quote on the wall, cozy throw pillows I picked out with care, some art that makes me smile, and shelves filled with everything from picture books to journals to silly little trinkets that spark joy.
I’m a casual, easygoing therapist, and I want my clients to feel that energy the moment they step inside. This is not a place for judgment. This is a space for you.
A Place for All Ages
Kids can explore sensory play items, art materials, and imaginative tools to express what words sometimes can’t. Teens and young adults often prefer the more open layout, some even stretch out on the floor while we talk (yes, really). Adults also enjoy the relaxed, homey atmosphere and are encouraged to engage in creative or playful activities to explore their thoughts and feelings, all alongside meaningful conversation with a therapist who understands that life can be a lot sometimes.
Come As You Are
Whether you need a place to talk, cry, doodle, sit in silence, or laugh about how awkward life can be, my door (and cozy seating and fuzzy blankets) is always open.
Shoes optional.
