At A Place to Turn, I have a special passion for supporting neurodivergent individuals, including autistic clients, those with ADHD, and people with learning or sensory differences, fostering strengths-based environments where they can thrive.
I also work alongside people in all stages of addiction and recovery, with or without co-occurring mental health concerns. I believe recovery is not just about letting go of what no longer serves you—it’s about creating a life worth living—and I meet each person with compassion, patience, and deep respect for the courage it takes to heal.
My approach is practical, collaborative, and tailored to each client’s unique needs. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), somatic techniques, and DBT skills, she helps clients build coping strategies, shift unhelpful patterns, and set achievable goals.
If you feel like we might be a good fit, I would invite you to reach out! I look forward to meeting and growing together.
