Are you seeking clarity? About who you are, where you are headed, or how you'll get there? Using nature-based practices work with teens and adults who are looking to improve self-confidence, strengthen communication, get real about their personal values, and take real tangible steps towards living a life that feels meaningful. Whether you are neurodivergent (autism, ADHD, OCD), have experienced trauma, people-pleasing, or are reimagining your life following a big change like divorce or coming out, I can help you embrace self-acceptance, anxiety and phobias, and maintain healthier relationship patterns.
I am a firm believer that we are experts in our own story; It is not my role to inform you on who you are or what you should aspire to be. Rather, I use trauma-focused approaches rooted in ACT and existential therapy to provide insight on where you might be stuck, and to help you try out new ways of thinking that better support who you want to be.
If you’re looking for something beyond talk therapy and/or are looking for a therapist who personally gets what it means to be neurodivergent or queer, I hope you reach out to learn more. Through our work together, you can expect to engage in deep self-reflection, challenge negative self-talk, reduce intrusive thoughts, and gain emotional awareness.

As your therapist, I won't shy away from difficult conversations. Using a blend of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Existential Therapy, and active art making we'll explore how the past impacts the present, clearly define your values, and improve self-confidence so you can better direct your life. My work with couples is influenced by attachment therapy and Gottman method approaches.
