Looking for someone who your teen or you will relate to and feel understood by? That’s me! I work with those who are looking for a relational, trauma-informed therapist who truly “gets it.” I work with teenagers who have had a hard time finding someone who they feel they can be themselves with. My specializations are working with teenagers and young adults who are neurodivergent (OCD, Autism, ADHD, (c)PTSD). I also work with teens and young adults who are queer and/or gender diverse. Complex, attachment, & religious trauma, &/or those looking to heal relationship with food & their Bodies are my other areas of specialization.

Relational therapy is at the core of what I do. I work from a somatic trauma based approach as a way to help create a mind-body connection. My therapy approach is based in my belief that we all need someone who can hold hope for us when we don’t have hope for ourselves. I bring my whole self into the work I do by utilizing compassion and humor.

As someone who has sat on the other side of the room, I know firsthand that healing is possible. Maybe your teen feels alone or maybe they’re tired of living a life unaligned with their values. Together, we can help your teen heal and begin creating the life they want to live. I’d be honored to work with your teen as they begin to practice self-acceptance.

A lot of the work I do is helping clients feel comfortable in their bodies. After a few months of working together, my clients report feeling more connected with their Bodies, as well as feeling more aligned with their values. My clients are able to learn to unmask their neurodivergence and lean into living a life where they honor their Bodies and their Bodies inherent wisdom.
