You’re smart, capable, and self-aware—so why does life still feel this hard?

Maybe you’re constantly overwhelmed by your emotions, stuck in the same arguments with your partner, or carrying guilt and self-blame that never seems to let up.

You’ve spent years trying to understand yourself, but you’re still wondering why relationships feel so difficult—and why you keep ending up in the same painful patterns.

You don’t need more judgment. And you don’t need someone to tell you to “just try harder.”

You need support from someone who understands how neurodivergence, relationships, and trauma intersect—and who can help you create meaningful change.


Hi, I’m Lianna.

My clients often tell me they’re tired of feeling misunderstood—not just by the people around them, but by previous therapists, too.

My approach is warm, direct, and practical. We’ll spend time understanding what’s happening and why, but we won’t stop there.

Together, we’ll identify the patterns keeping you stuck and develop tools you can actually use in real life.

Because insight is important. But meaningful change requires action.

We Might Be a Good Fit If…

  • You're tired of talking about the same problems without anything changing.

  • You want a therapist who will give you honest feedback, ask challenging questions, and help you see things from a different perspective.

  • You're willing to look at your own patterns and behaviors, even when it's uncomfortable.

  • You appreciate practical strategies you can use outside of therapy.

  • You want someone who understands how ADHD, autism, trauma, or relationship dynamics can affect the way you think, feel, and communicate.

We Might Not Be the Best Fit If…

  • You're looking for a therapist who primarily listens without offering much feedback or direction.

  • You're hoping therapy will focus entirely on changing someone else's behavior.

  • You're not interested in exploring your own role in the patterns that keep you stuck.

  • You're looking for quick fixes without putting in work between sessions.
