As a late diagnosed neurodivergent therapist, I help neurodivergent teens and adults who are exhausted and ready to understand themselves. I work with clients who identify as sensitive, intuitive, overwhelmed, or endlessly trying to “fit” into spaces that weren’t built for their brains. My approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply validating. Therapy with me feels like stepping into a quiet, cozy corner of the world, a place where you can unmask, breathe, and explore your story at your own pace. I offer gentle structure, flexible sessions, and a space where your inner world is treated with curiosity rather than judgment.

Life can be unpredictable, and at times, the support we need may feel limited. Seeking support is a strength, and you do not have to navigate life’s challenges alone. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, my goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can express yourself openly, gain insight, and work toward meaningful change. Most importantly, I want our sessions to be a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. Therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and finding the right counselor can make a meaningful difference.

Reaching out for support can feel like the hardest step, but you don’t have to stay stuck. If you’re struggling with low self-esteem, anxiety, or negative beliefs about yourself, these patterns are often rooted in past experiences that haven’t been fully processed.
I specialize in trauma-informed therapy and EMDR to help you work through what’s been holding you back so that you can feel more confident, grounded, and in control. Together, we’ll build practical skills, strengthen boundaries, and create lasting change not just temporary relief.

Danielle LaPorte asked the question best, “Can you remember who you were before the world told you who you should be?” Can you remember when you loved and accepted yourself unapologetically, and embraced all the things about you that make you unique? As we age, we gain knowledge from life experiences and through those experiences we can soar to greatness or we can break and lose sight of who we really are, and become someone we were never meant to be. When we become someone less than who we were meant to be we can begin to experience anxiety, depression, substance abuse, loss of relationships and functional distress.

I help couples navigate betrayal recovery when trust has been shattered and you’re unsure whether the relationship can survive. When the truth finally comes out, everything changes. The ground shifts, trust collapses, and suddenly you’re questioning your worth, your partner, and your future. Whether the rupture involves compulsive sexual behavior, infidelity, secrecy, or a pattern that was hidden for years, you need someone who understands both sides—the trauma of the betrayed partner and the shame and confusion of the partner who acted out. You deserve a space where the full story can be spoken, even when shame shows up.

FAQ - Native American Therapists
What are the advantages of seeing a Native American therapist?
Therapists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions through various forms of talk therapy and behavioral interventions. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is an essential part of feeling supported and understood in care. For many Native American individuals, working with a provider who shares or respects their cultural background can foster a deeper sense of trust and connection in the therapeutic process. Native American therapists may be especially well-equipped to address topics such as historical trauma, intergenerational grief, and cultural identity—factors that can significantly shape the mental health experiences of Native American clients. These providers may also be knowledgeable about and incorporate Indigenous healing traditions, which can be beneficial for clients seeking this approach. Additionally, Native American therapists may be more familiar with community resources, support networks, or other culturally-aligned providers who can offer further support.
How to find a Native American therapist?
Psychology Today’s online directory is a useful tool for finding a Native American therapist. You can filter for providers who identify as Native American or who mention working with Indigenous populations and highlight cultural competence in their profiles. Look for signs such as experience with tribal communities, familiarity with Native traditions, or a focus on trauma-informed care. Depending on your preferences and needs, it may also be important to ask whether a provider offers telehealth, which therapeutic approaches they use, and whether they accept your insurance. If you're unable to find a therapist who personally identifies as Native American, you may also consider providers who have experience working with Native clients or who demonstrate a clear commitment to cultural humility and respect for Native American beliefs and traditions. You might also consider a blended approach—for example, seeing a therapist for talk therapy while also seeing a Native healer or counselor for more culturally-specific support.
