I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in child and adolescent therapy, while also providing therapy and comprehensive psychological assessments for all ages. As a neurodivergent woman, I bring both clinical expertise and lived experience, especially in evaluating Autism Spectrum Disorder in girls and women, who are often overlooked. Trained in Therapeutic Assessment, I view evaluations as collaborative, healing experiences. My work is deeply relational, and I partner closely with clients and key supports to build a compassionate, comprehensive understanding of each person’s needs.
As a therapist, my work is grounded in psychodynamic and relational frameworks, and I draw from a range of integrative approaches to meet each client’s unique needs. I strive to create a therapeutic space that is warm, respectful, and collaborative. With children, I incorporate play and art to support their natural ways of expression beyond words.
Starting therapy or an evaluation can feel like a big step, especially when you're searching for answers. I understand how vulnerable this process can be, and I approach my work with warmth, curiosity, and deep respect. If you're feeling ready, or even just wondering if this might be the right next step, I welcome you to reach out!
