Therapy for a Brain That Doesn't Run on Default Settings
Maybe it feels like everyone else got an instruction manual for life that somehow missed you. You’re getting through school, work, relationships, and daily responsibilities, but things that seem simple for other people can take a surprising amount of energy.
You may be dealing with anxiety, depression, executive dysfunction, ADHD, autism, OCD, identity questions, or a major life change. Maybe you’re processing a new diagnosis, wondering whether you’ve been masking for years, or realizing that advice like “just make a list” and “just put yourself out there” isn’t especially useful when your brain doesn’t work that way.
Audrey works with teens, college students, and adults who want therapy that starts with understanding how they actually function rather than trying to force them into a standard mold. Her practice is neurodivergent-affirming and LGBTQIA+-affirming, with space for different identities, cultures, beliefs, bodies, abilities, and ways of experiencing the world.

Approaches I use
My Approach to Therapy
Audrey sees you as the expert on your own life. Her role is less about telling you what you’re supposed to do and more about helping you understand yourself, explore what is getting in the way, and find strategies that work for your actual brain and circumstances.
Her approach is strengths-based and can incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, and Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT). Sessions may include deep reflection, practical problem-solving, creative writing, or simply finding a different way to look at something you’ve been struggling with.
Audrey also pays attention to the larger systems affecting mental health. Inequality, prejudice, identity, culture, disability, and social expectations don’t disappear when you enter a therapy room. Her goal is to create an affirming space where you don’t have to hide or translate parts of yourself in order to receive useful support.
Whether you’re new to therapy or already know your way around a therapist’s office, the work is collaborative, flexible, and shaped around what helps you move through life with more self-understanding and less pressure to function like someone you’re not.
"I know I'm capable, so why does everything seem to take so much more effort for me? I'm tired of trying advice that works for everyone else and wondering what's wrong with me when it doesn't work for my brain."

A Little About Audrey
Audrey earned her Master of Science in Counseling from the University of North Texas and holds a bachelor’s degree from Rice University. Her professional background includes university counseling centers and private practice, which helped shape a particular interest in working with college students through the independence, identity shifts, stress, relationships, and general messiness that can come with that stage of life.
Audrey is also a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and brings a strong commitment to affirming different identities, cultures, religious beliefs, body sizes, abilities, and neurotypes.
Outside of therapy, Audrey has a lifelong love of learning and a tendency to fall deeply into whatever topic has caught her attention that week. She enjoys trying new restaurants with her partner, playing emulated Game Boy games, creative writing, and adding books to a bedside stack she fully intends to finish eventually.
She believes therapy can be thoughtful and meaningful without feeling formal all the time. Sometimes useful self-discovery happens through serious reflection. Sometimes it happens while debating a Halloween candy tier list.
