Life can feel overwhelming when the world isn’t built for the way you think, feel, or process experiences. Many of my clients—children, teens, and adults—struggle with overwhelm, feeling out of control or unsafe, daily functioning, emotional regulation, identity, or relationships. Some seek support in navigating neurodivergence, while others face trauma, anxiety, or depression. Families often feel lost, unsure how to advocate for their children or themselves. My goal is to empower you with understanding, strategies, and confidence to move forward in a way that aligns with who you truly are.
I take a neuroaffirming, trauma-informed, and holistic approach, integrating Play, EMDR, movement, polyvagal theory, CBT, ACT, Schemas, Gottman approaches, and mindfulness ... Whether through therapy, coaching, assessments, or psychoeducation, I create a safe, validating space where individuals and families can understand, heal, and grow at their own pace
It can feel exhausting navigating a world that doesn’t always make sense. You don’t have to do it alone. Whether you're seeking clarity, support, or simply a space to feel understood and valued, I’m here to walk beside you. Healing isn’t about fixing-it’s about embracing who you are and moving forward with confidence. Let’s start this journey together.
