Feeling trapped in life, with a roaring in your ears and locked up in your thoughts, ignoring everything around you? Have you ever experienced moments where it feels like an overwhelming darkness is consuming you? Sometimes depression and anxiety can feel like they are devouring you, and all you can do to keep from screaming is to make yourself invisible and hope that nothing else comes your way as you struggle through your cocoon of darkness. However, as one of my favorite authors, Sarah J. Maas, says, "Only you can decide what breaks you."
I'm neurodiversity-affirming and trauma-informed, providing support for ADHD, autism, bipolar, trauma, depression, anxiety, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts. I use art therapy, TF-CBT, Acceptance and Commitment therapy and tailored approaches for ages 6-50. Let's work together on your unique journey.
I work with kids, teens, and adults. I also specialize in parent training for children under 7. I love to use creative outlets and work to find the right modality to fit each person’s needs. Therapy is not a one size fits all kind of fix but a fluid process that we journey through together.
