Working with clients across the lifespan, I specialize in providing integrative and neurodiverse affirming therapy for complex trauma, eating disorders, maternal mental health, ADHD/AuDHD, autism in adults, OCD, neurodiverse couples, and codependency. My work is also heavily influenced by IFS, Polyvagal Theory and DBT. Because the therapeutic process requires a high degree of trust & time, I believe that it's helpful to know what you can expect from a specific therapist before investing your energy & resources.
When therapy is ambiguous, it can feel frustrating. With this in mind, I bring an active voice into appointments, focusing clearly on your goals. My expertise is in understanding the intersection of neurology, trauma, attachment & the nervous system. Together, we will explore how you want to create meaningful change that you can implement outside of sessions
The hope is that therapy can become a space to gain awareness & understanding into your experiences, building confidence in your own resiliency and intuition. You are the expert in you. My role is to come alongside of you, as both a witness and as a guide with tangible support, while you do the brave work of creating change.
