I create a safe and supportive relationship with people. It is important that you feel heard, acknowledged & supported. This is the significant ingredient for your personal relationship transformation.

Are you or your loved one autistic, feeling misunderstood or experiencing related challenges? Do you need a therapist who understands your family and your unique situation? If you are a neurodivergent adult or parenting an autistic child and are looking for a safe place to process your feelings, address trauma, improve communication or problem solve daily challenges, I would be honored to help. As both an experienced therapist and a parent of an autistic young adult, I understand how autism, anxiety or ADHD impacts you and your family.

Are you using unhealthy coping mechanisms to deal with your anxiety and/or depression? Increasingly, the pressures of life, complicated relationships, traumatic events which are or feel beyond our control are leading us to problematic emotional states. Frequently, negative emotions such as shame, anger or hatred, or envy and jealousy, link to negative self-talk, dictating our feelings, thoughts and actions. I find it is usually helpful to apply a holistic approach, working with the mind/body connection which counsels attention to the present moment rather than dwelling in the past or obsessing about the future.

I work with couples, families, and individuals to find their strength, helping to guide them towards healing and a better tomorrow. My work with couples and families is designed to strengthen their relationships. I also work with individuals experiencing the pain of depression, dealing with anxiety, those struggling with the weight of grief, having trouble getting past anger and much more. My passion is to help others grow relationships and become stronger individuals.
