Welcome! Meet Our Therapists

Millennial Therapy Project was built by therapists who were tired of performing and conforming.

Fed up with squeezing into a clinical box that was never made for us.
Fed up with pretending to be “professional” while hiding the very traits that make us powerful.
Fed up with watching brilliant, burnt-out neurodivergent folks contort themselves just to be tolerated.

So we said no.
No to outdated therapy models.
No to masking in the name of mental health.
No to fixing people who were never broken to begin with.

Millennial Therapy Project is a form of resistance.

Because so many of us have spent our lives trying to fit in without ever feeling like we truly belonged.
Because the mental health system has too often prioritized compliance over connection.
Because creativity, sensitivity, and intensity are not flaws, they’re part of what makes you powerful.

We won’t ask you to quiet yourself.
We won’t push tools that weren’t made with your nervous system in mind.
We will help you rebuild and restore your relationship with yourself.

This is neurodivergent therapy by neurodivergent therapists.

This is Millennial Therapy Project..

Meet Jess (she/her)

Founder of the Millennial Therapy Project | Creator of the Compliance Strain Framework™ | Neurodivergent Adaptation Specialist | Therapist for the Unfixable (because you’re not f*cking broken)

Jess is a neurodivergent therapist who doesn’t believe in fixing people because you’re not broken.

With over six years in trauma therapy, medical social work, and systems care, Jess has helped hundreds of ADHDers, Autistics, and beautifully wired adults unlearn the shame of being “too much” and “not enough.” She brings lived experience, deep clinical training, and a no-bullshit approach to healing.

She’s the creator of the Compliance Strain Framework™, a new way to understand the quiet exhaustion so many neurodivergent people carry. It’s not burnout. It’s not just masking. It’s the daily, compounding toll of having to adapt, comply, and push through a world that doesn’t support your natural way of coping. Imagine trying to run full-speed every day in shoes that don’t fit. Eventually your whole system hurts, even if you never fall.

Jess helps people name that weight, understand where it shows up in their lives and relationships, and start choosing themselves again.

As a neurodivergent adaptation specialist, she supports clients in finding what actually works for their nervous system and not someone else’s idea of “balanced” or “productive.” Her approach is trauma-informed, affirming, and centered on adaptation, not obedience.

She also works with neurodivergent and dual-divergent couples, using the Compliance Strain lens to untangle communication patterns shaped by survival, not dysfunction. She helps partners understand each other’s adaptations and build connections aligned with each others adaptation needs.

Jess is known for being fully herself in session stimming, laughing, swearing, and holding space for whatever shows up. Her clients say it’s the first time they’ve felt completely understood without having to translate who they are or how they think.

She’s also creating Millennial Therapy Project retreats and experiential healing spaces for people who are done surviving and ready to rest, reconnect, and live without a mask.

This is therapy for people who’ve been asked to shrink.
This is healing for bodies and brains that never felt like they belonged.
