Life can change rapidly and overwhelm us when we least expect it. Or maybe you've been stuck in a harmful pattern for years and are finally ready to change. If so, I’m here to help. Since beginning my private practice in 2020, my guiding philosophy has been simple: treat the person, not the mental illness. I see your experiences, concerns, and emotions as valuable insight into how you've adapted, survived, and potentially thrived in parts of your life. I want to work with and nurture your skills and abilities while establishing new ways of meeting your needs and detangling difficult experiences in an empowering and healing way.

To help you with processing complex emotions and tapping into your internal resources, I've done training in Internal Family Systems Therapy and Emotion-Focused Individual Therapy. I've also taken courses to help with ADHD and Autism. Along with my clinical knowledge, I have lived experience as a person with a disability, which also informs my practice.

My personal and professional experiences have helped me to understand that mental health is not the absence of illness but the continuation of wellness and that is unique for each person. If you're seeking a companion on your journey to discover or rediscovering your wellness, I'm here for you.
