Life can be overwhelming, especially when you're carrying experiences that feel too heavy to process alone, or feel stuck in a relational conflict.
I work with individuals and couples navigating a variety of struggles including trauma, relationship issues, anxiety, and depression. If you're facing something new or living with a long-standing challenge, my aim is to create a non-judgemental and grounding space for you to feel safe. I use a trauma-informed and often narrative-based approach, and consider the whole person, as well as societal and cultural influences in our work together.
I offer neuro- affirming care and support for folks navigating the diagnostic process for ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). As someone who has personally experienced the challenges of executive functioning, I understand how difficult it can be to manage daily demands, and I bring this empathy into every session.
Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming. It is important that the therapeutic connection feels right for you, as the strongest outcomes come from a positive therapeutic relationship. That’s why we are offering a free 15-minute consultation to help get to know each other, where you can decide if you would like to work together.
