Navigating life's complexities can be particularly challenging when you're neurodivergent, living with chronic illness, or carrying the weight of past traumas. You might often feel misunderstood, overwhelmed, or disconnected from those around you. In my practice, I strive to create a safe, affirming space where your unique experiences are acknowledged and valued. Whether you are looking for a structured approach or something more exploratory, I am trained in a variety of modalities to meet your needs which include EMDR, ACT, EFT, DBT, IFS, and many more!
As someone who is both professionally trained and personally acquainted with neurodivergence and chronic illness, I bring a depth of understanding and empathy to our work together. I offer individual, couples, and family therapy, tailoring each session to meet your specific needs and goals.
I would love to connect with you for a free 20 minute consultation to determine if we are a good fit! Please note, I offer sliding scale appointments if you do not have insurance coverage, or the coverage does not cover a large portion of my fee.
