Not every storm is visible, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t real. Whether it's the whirlwind of ADHD, the quiet complexities of autism, or the relentless loop of anxious thoughts, I help individuals navigate what others often don’t see. I specialize in supporting neurodivergent clients and those managing anxiety, with a deep commitment to honoring each person’s unique wiring. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based and scientifically proven practices tailored to your lived experience. We work together to customize therapy to meet you where you are authentically, collaboratively, and with curiosity.

In our work together, you’ll find a space that’s safe, curious, and empowering. I aim to guide my clients through the messiness of growth with compassion and clarity, helping them build self-understanding, reduce overwhelm, and rediscover their inner calm. To me, therapy is not about “fixing” but empowering, offering tools, insight, and support

I’ve had the honor of walking alongside clients of all backgrounds as they reclaim confidence, build coping skills, and find language for what once felt unspeakable. Healing isn’t linear, but it is possible and you're not alone in the journey. Together, we’ll make space for growth, resilience, and meaningful change.

Treatment Approach

Types of Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT)
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Exposure Response Prevention (ERP)
Feminist
Gestalt

Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Narrative
Person-Centered
Positive Psychology
Psychodynamic
Rational Emotive Behavior (REBT)
Somatic
Trauma Focused

I often draw my approach from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Somatic theories, and Psychotherapy. Through these methods we will analyze the thoughts and feelings which impact your day-to-day life and discover methods for using them instead of them working against you. Additionally, we will explore the mind-body connection and how it may impact you.
