My client focus are children and adolescents. I started working with children and adolescents over 10 years ago, caring for their physical health in hospitals. After a few years, I decided to transition from physical health to mental health and have been working with children and adolescents for over 2 years in individual and group counseling and in the public school system. I've worked with children dealing with behavioral concerns in the school, home, and community. Social emotional learning, career exploration, experiential learning, and small groups have been my areas of specialty.

Neurodivergent (Autism/ADHD) adult? Feeling burned out from masking and overwhelm? You may look like you’re holding it together—but underneath, you’re exhausted. You may be navigating burnout, anxiety, or the impact of long-term masking. Many of my clients are late-diagnosed or questioning neurodivergent adults (Autism/ADHD) trying to understand themselves in a new way.
You might be unpacking complex trauma, rethinking your identity, or feeling stuck between who you’ve had to be and who you are. When you hold multiple identities, that process can feel even more overwhelming and isolating.

Therapy is my passion. I'm grateful for the trust that every client gives to me when they grant me the chance to assist them in their journey towards positive growth and change. It's not just the trust they put into me, but also the trust they put into the process. A process that I know works. I don't believe that therapy is something that can be done the exact same way for every person who comes seeking support for their own unique reasons, causes, or crisis.
The relationship between you and your therapist, should feel, safe, respectful, trusting, and always non-judgemental. I strive to provide that to all of my client's.

The key to successful therapy is a relationship with a caring, nonjudgmental therapist there to respond sensitively and patiently to whatever comes up. In my work, I offer that to my clients, as we collaborate in developing an understanding of your emotional states and how they drive your thoughts and actions. We’ll learn together what you need to strengthen and grow. My work with children and adolescents informs my understanding of development over the life span, and how those relationships and experiences that shape us are alive in the present moment.

I have a special passion for supporting women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s through life's pivotal chapters — relationship changes, career shifts, parenting challenges, loss, evolving identity, and the often-overlooked impact of perimenopause, menopause, and intimacy.

How do you go from feeling overwhelmed and lost to clarity and a solid sense of self? Contemplating this journey informs my work as a psychotherapist. In my experience, the single most important factor that leads to significant change is the development of a trusting client-therapist relationship. This allows trust in new possibilities,and seeing yourself differently and considering this new sense of self. I liken therapy to reorganizing heavy furniture in a room and in some cases getting rid of pieces. The furniture represents the client's view of self. With acceptance and empathic curiosity, change can begin.

You make sense. Every feeling, every thought, every behavior. Even if those feelings, thoughts, or behaviors are clearly getting in the way of your peace, your goals, or the kinds of relationships you want to have. I'm here to help you explore and create compassion for your internal world, because you can't change what you don't understand.
Here are a few examples of clients who I work well with: those experiencing a faith crisis/transition, people who value spirituality (mainstream or alternative forms), men with young children, federal workers, and high performers with relationship struggles. I work with individuals and couples.
