Hi, I’m Lydia: a mom, a therapist, and someone who’s passionate about making space for the real experiences of parenthood.

When I became a parent myself, everything I knew, personally and professionally, took on new depth. I saw just how isolating, overwhelming, and identity-shifting that transition can be, and how little support is actually in place for moms during this time. Around that same season, I also started understanding my own neurodivergence more fully, and I realized how much those two experiences were tangled together. That's what led me to focus my work on perinatal mental health and neurodivergent women, especially those coming to an ADHD or autism diagnosis later in life.

As a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-C in Maryland, LCSW in Virginia), I provide therapy to individuals and families, bringing both clinical training and lived experience into the room. I know what it's like to suspect your brain works differently for years before you have the language for it, and I know what it's like to have new motherhood arrive on top of that. I'm here to support you through the messy, meaningful, in-between moments of becoming, and being, who you actually are.
