Struggling to thrive? Let’s help you be well, be loving, and be wise! I help neurodivergent individuals of all ages and families, including those navigating birth trauma, parenting, college launching, and high-achieving professionals. If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or misunderstood, you don’t have to stay there. Whether it’s OCD, ASD, ADHD, trauma, or family dynamics, you deserve support that truly fits. Some of my favorite approaches are DBT, family systems, mindful self-compassion, exposure response prevention, EMDR, and prolonged exposure for PTSD. let’s find what works for you so you can move from surviving to thriving.
I take a holistic approach to neurodivergence, exploring your story from multiple angles at intake. Through self-assessments, we identify growth areas from symptoms to coping skills, and strengths. Together, we co-create goals that fit your needs. Whether as a teacher, coach, or counselor, I adapt to help you build skills, gain insight, and lasting change.
You deserve more than coping; you deserve to thrive. I believe healing happens when we feel seen, understood, & empowered. That’s why I take a collaborative approach, exploring what truly works for you. Therapy isn’t about fixing you, it’s about helping you embrace who you are while creating meaningful change. Ready to step out of survival mode? Let’s go!

Virtual & in-person Mindfulness Self-Compassion
This 9wk Mindful Self-Compassion course (MSC) is a powerful resilience tool! Mindfulness is the first step in emotional healing—being able to turn toward and acknowledge our difficult thoughts and feelings with a spirit of openness and curiosity. Self-compassion involves responding to these difficult thoughts and feelings with kindness, sympathy and understanding so that we soothe and comfort ourselves when we’re hurting. Research has shown that self-compassion greatly enhances emotional well-being. MSC teaches core principles and practices that enable you to open yourself to the present moment and feel connected to your world.
