Hi! I work with individuals who have felt misunderstood or marginalized, particularly adult children of emotionally immature parents, neurodivergent folks, and members of the 2S-LGBTQIA+ community. I believe that true healing involves examining how societal systems shape our beliefs and behaviors, and I strive to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported. Whether you're managing ADHD, navigating trauma, or exploring your identity, I’m here to partner with you in building resilience, learning new skills, embracing your strengths, and achieving your goals.
I use a strengths-based, collaborative approach that integrates tools from modalities like DBT, IFS, and ACT to help you build resilience, improve self-regulation, and develop skills for lasting change. My goal is to help you embrace your authentic self and create a fulfilling, meaningful life.
I understand how challenging it can be to navigate life’s struggles alone. If you’ve felt misunderstood or stuck, I’m here to walk with you toward healing and self-discovery. You deserve a supportive space where you’re heard and empowered. If you would like to schedule a consultation call or have any questions, please reach out!
