Life comes with many complex challenges. Sometimes we feel alone or inadequate and experience difficulty being fully authentic with others. Other times, we lack the necessary support, or open ourselves up to being hurt by others. Mental health is strongly influenced by our ability to get our needs met. Psychotherapy is a process where we take a close look at your needs, including the thoughts and feelings you have when you feel stuck. By identifying, fleshing out and contextualizing your reactions, we gain a deeper and nuanced understanding of you. This process will help you find freedom of choice and greater fulfillment.

I specialize in providing neurodiversity-affirming autism evaluations and therapy across the life-span (from toddlers to older adults!).
Why Work With a Neurodiversity-Affirming Autism Specialist for Evaluation?
Autism can be subtle, especially in individuals who mask or camouflage. I look beyond surface behaviors and carefully differentiate autism from trauma and other co-occurring conditions like anxiety, depression, or OCD. A nuanced evaluation prevents misdiagnosis and leads to clear, individualized recommendations.

Maybe you look like you’re doing “fine” on the outside—going to work, showing up for friends, getting things done—but inside, something feels off. Maybe your anxiety won’t quiet down, your mood feels heavy or numb, or you’re exhausted from constantly pushing through. Life wasn't supposed to feel like this.
Many people feel anxious, alone, or disillusioned with the world around them, struggling to make sense of grief, loss, or experiences that have quietly shaped their dissatisfaction. I offer a space to slow down, understand what isn’t working (with a little humor and a lot of kindness), and heal in a sustainable way.

My primary focus is working with children and adolescents who are struggling with family discord, parent separation and/or divorce. Since 1996 I have been working within the school system, consulting for an adolescent residential/outpatient therapeutic treatment facility and in private practice. I work with children, adolescents, and their families to improve their skills navigating through life's challenges, transitions, and daily stressors.

Seeking professional psychological help can be a complicated undertaking. Some people seek help when in the throes of a crisis, others after a long time trying to fix something that is not right in their life. Family conflict, life transitions, relationship problems, anxieties and depression are some of the reasons people contact me for help. When people seek my assistance I try to understand all the factors (personal, family, work) that are impacting their life. This includes present circumstances and historical influences. In an evaluation I work with people to develop the best plan of treatment for their current situation.
