When you are neurodivergent, it can feel like you never quite 'fit'. It can feel lonely and isolating. Whether you have a diagnosis like ASD or ADHD, or you suspect that this label fits you, neurodiverse affirming counseling can help you find your place in the world and embrace your unique gifts and strengths. It can also help you to deal with the past, which may mean coming to terms with years of feeling misunderstood.

I facilitate a range of groups, including: Women's Empowerment, Parenting, and Step Family. I utilize many different techniques (per the client's comfort level).

I am passionate about the transformative power of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) to help couples reconnect and stop their negative cycle of painful disconnection, conflict, anger and hurt.

EFT has shown unparalleled success in helping distressed couples to restore and deepen their emotional connection.

I'm currently adding ONLY couples to my waitlist. I am trained to target emotional experiences to activate internal healing and external connection. I assist couples by facilitating an environment that safely moves folks towards security in self and towards one another in vulnerability so that bonding can replace the need for self-preservation. With individuals, I welcome all parts of each person as they establish security in self helping parts recognize: "parts cope, self heals." I view people as "stuck" and not "sick," and I believe in each person is a healer. In couple therapy, I hold this true: "one therapist, three healers."

My ideal client is someone who wants to overcome their situation and live their best life. Often times we become stuck in our circumstances, and with healing comes freedom. My clients want to understand their experiences, gain strength to overcome them and their lives to be full of joy and happiness.
