I work with individuals on a range of issues, including relationship issues, anxiety, life transitions, identity issues, trauma, ADHD, autism, and executive functioning issues. I have experience working with people across the lifespan, individuals with developmental disabilities, people of various cultural and economic backgrounds, as well as queer and non-monogamous clients. I have specialized training in ADHD, autism, and trauma. As a therapist who personally has ADHD and has extensive professional experience in developing accommodations, I bring a personal and specialized approach to working with neurodiverse clients.
I employ a trauma-informed, relational, and culturally curious approach, drawing from a variety of theories to find the best fit for you. I am EMDRIA trained in EMDR and utilize parts work, CBT, attachment theory, relational therapy, solution-focused therapy, and strengths-based therapy. I offer therapy for ADHD, autism, trauma, anxiety, and more!
