I am in the business of helping clients build a sense of hope and resilience for people who tend to be neurodivergent and are looking for a safe space that promotes both honesty and authenticity. I am somewhat irreverent and use sarcasm and humor to connect and build rapport. My clients have a history of trauma, anxiety, dissociation, and personality disorder and are looking for a unique, therapeutic approach.

I am accepting new couples and individuals. My work focuses on deepening how we tell stories about ourselves, as well as understanding and healing our relationships. Parenting, divorce, chronic illness, anxiety, shame, and relationship troubles are particularly good matches for me. Life can go sideways in all kinds of ways, and therapy can give you concrete tools and aha moments that can change everything. I have worked for over fifteen years in the mental health field, and love working with teens, adults, and couples. I welcome people from all backgrounds, and actively cultivate an atmosphere that welcomes diversity of all kinds.

My goal as a therapist is to assist clients in living healthy, fulfilling lives. I do this through helping clients identify goals they want to work toward, personal strengths on which they can build, skills they want to develop, and barriers they want to overcome. My work is client-centered and strengths-based, recognizing that change often takes time, hard work, and patience. Thus, I move with clients at their pace, knowing that recovery looks different for everyone and that there isn’t one approach to fit all clients. As a therapist, I strive to create a safe space for clients so they can develop trust and evaluate their life.

I work with people individually, and in relationships that struggle to effectively communicate their needs. Because of how they were brought up, or conditioned through experience, they might have vastly different ways of showing up in relationships, especially through conflict. We all want to work on what drives our behavior so that we can better understand ourselves and each other. This allows us to be vulnerable with one another and experience our real selves, so we can connect and love on a much deeper and more meaningful and satisfying level.

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. As humans, we all struggle with coping sometimes. Coping could be more challenging because of chronic illness, pain, neurodiversity, anxiety, and depression. My fellow zebras may be familiar with the saying coined by Theodore Woodward, “When you hear hoofbeats, think of horses, not zebras,” which is commonly taught to doctors. This saying often results in individuals feeling invalidated and questioning their symptoms. Invalidation and lack of support can leave individuals feeling isolated. As a therapist, I aim to assist my clients with building coping mechanisms and providing emotional support.

I work with adults 22 and older looking for growth and healing. I especially enjoy working with emerging adults as they navigate life cycle transitions (graduating college/relationships/navigating friendships), therapists in training, and people wanting to unlearn toxic narratives.

I also work with couples navigating ways to communicate and understand each other in healthier ways and how to promote healthier relationships in general. Also as a person who identifies as biracial, I enjoy work around identity exploration and privilege and oppression. Couples work is OON.
