My experience in school settings has led me to specialize in supporting children and teens with autism, ADHD, and other developmental and social-emotional challenges. I also provide parent training for families navigating special needs. Additionally, I support clients dealing with mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, substance use, sexual abuse, domestic violence/IPV, and trauma. I offer affirming support to those in marginalized communities, including individuals identifying as LGBTQ+, kink/BDSM practitioners, polyamorous, and those experiencing gender or sexual identity exploration.
My practice integrates both traditional and holistic therapeutic modalities. In addition to my clinical training, I am a certified reiki practitioner, 200-hour certified yoga teacher, and certified in sound healing, tapping, and mindfulness practices. My training in these areas allows me to offer a well-rounded approach to therapy.
I understand that reaching out for support can feel daunting, but I want you to know that you're not alone. My approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and a deep commitment to your healing journey. Whether you're navigating trauma, mental health struggles, or life transitions, I am here to walk alongside you in a safe, non-judgmental space.
