I provide neurodiverse affirming autism evaluations and consultations for all ages and identities. I am interested in understanding the internal, hidden and genuine experience of neurodivergent individuals during the diagnostic process. Many individuals have been misdiagnosed or dismissed by providers. I am different. I work to understand masking and camouflaging of autistic traits. Autism is a difference in brain wiring and accurate diagnosis can be powerful in validating and affirming one's lived experience. A diagnostic process done in a neurodiverse affirming manner can be therapeutic.

I am cultural and social worker caring for people and the planet. As a Social Worker, I approach my work with a deep understanding of the overlapping forces that provoke distress, influence adverse coping mechanisms and negatively impact wellbeing on an individual, familial and societal level.
In my trauma-informed, culturally responsive and hopeful work with children, adolescents, adults and families I celebrate inherent strengths people bring to the table and meet them with a holistic approach when exploring topics such as identity formation, transitional complexities, healthy relationships, mood disorders and more.

My vision is to see people be able to connect with a deep inner peace and have thriving relationships. It has meant the world to me to have someone see into my life and offer a different perspective—a person to hold a mirror up and model what it’s like to extend forgiveness, acceptance, and belief. I want to “pay it forward” so to speak, and continue to provide to others what has been life changing for me: to be seen, known, cherished, and challenged.

Life can be especially difficult for our young people today. It is my goal to assist all my clients starting at age 3 years, through adults to learn how to make healthy and positive decisions in their lives and to empower them to have a good, healthy self image and to successfully move into their future. I am not rooted in one particular type of therapy. This is because the same thing does not work on everyone. I believe in a wrap around style of therapy. It is not just the child, it is its environment which could include, living environment, school, friend groups and more.

I tend to be most helpful to intense, high-functioning adults struggling with mood or anxiety symptoms or significant life transitions who are striving toward personal achievement, balance between work and relationships, and a sense of well-being.

These include cognitive, psychodynamic, interpersonal, and psychoeducational approaches. I may propose different ways of looking at or handling situations. I may suggest in-between session reading or homework assignments.

Therapy is not something I "do" to you; it is a collaboration and conversation we have together. I look forward to walking beside you as you access a place within that feels more like home. There is no one way to move toward healing. I use an emotionally-focused (EFT), humanistic and somatic understanding while keeping the very human need for attachment and relationship at the heart of our work together. Many clients feel and notice a shift toward increased authenticity, flow, ease and joy in their lives after working together. (Now accepting COUPLES).

My approach to psychotherapy/psychoanalysis is to provide a safe, non-judge mental and trusting environment where you can freely express your feelings. I believe each of us is striving to develop our own unique sense of self. We can do this together by identifying beliefs and behaviors that do not serve you and cultivating ones that do. This becomes a partnership. I am committed to helping you out of the darkness and into the light again. My training offers a wide variety of ways to achieve this task. Together we will follow closely your needs, desires and emotions.

As a Jungian analyst I have had the privilege of assisting adults in their healing processes. Healing and true psychological change come from finding one's own truth and true nature. Whether your symptoms take the form of depression, anxiety, eating disorders, self-destructive behaviors or problems within your family, breakthroughs can take place in a safe, confidential, and trusting environment. "If you give a person a fish they eat a meal; if you teach them to fish they eat for a lifetime." Understanding that Jungian analysis is a long process I offer a fee based on the individual's ability to pay and sustain the work.
