I am a neurodiversity affirmative therapist and create a safe, accepting, non-judgmental environment where you can freely unmask and be your authentic self. I collaborate with you to identify and utilize your strengths and empower you to use those strengths to overcome difficult situations, successfully navigate relationships, and enhance positive coping skills to promote resiliency.
I am a trauma-informed, integrative therapist who utilizes a variety of techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, trauma-informed evidence-based practices, experiential techniques (including art/play therapy techniques), mindfulness skills, and motivational interviewing.
I work primarily with young children to college-aged individuals and my areas of expertise include: anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-esteem, social skills, behavior issues, trauma, self-harm and suicidality, autism, intellectual disabilities, and siblings of ASD/IDD.
