Therapy for Trauma and Anxiety

Assessments and Therapy for ADHD and Autism

Serving Adults Virtually in CA & VA

For people whose own knowing got buried — under trauma, under years of masking, under messages that told what was wrong with you instead of what was right about you. Let’s rediscover who you are. Together.

Your wisdom is still in there

ADHD and Autism Assessments

You’re not here for more confusion—you’re here for answers. I offer personal, in-depth ADHD and Autism assessments for adults, rooted in collaborative conversation. Together we'll make sense of your wiring, answer the questions you've been carrying, and give you a report that reflects who you are.

Neurodivergent Therapy

You've always sensed your mind works differently — and you're done apologizing for it. I provide somatic and depth work through the lens of neurodivergence so you can release the "what's wrong with me?" and make room for "what actually matters to me?"

Somatic Release for Trauma and Persistent Anxiety

You want something to change — to unlock those deeper wounds and find a new way forward. I integrate somatics, memory reintegration, Parts Work (IFS), and trauma-informed care to help you feel safe enough to explore what's been stuck and process it in your body, not just your mind.

Hi, I'm Perla. I'm an LCSW with over ten years in the field — working with people in crisis, in recovery, with complex trauma, and with neurodivergent adults who've spent their lives not quite fitting. I offer ADHD and Autism assessments, somatic trauma work, and therapy where you're witnessed exactly as you are — where burdens come down and trust begins again.

I practice entirely online, serving adults in California and Virginia.
