Most of the people I work with look like they're doing fine on the outside, but inside they're overwhelmed, anxious, burned out or feeling stuck. They may be professionals, parents, caregivers or people navigating relationship challenges, trauma or major life changes. I'm direct, practical and not afraid of hard conversations. Together we'll identify the patterns keeping you stuck, process what's been weighing you down and build tools that actually work in your daily life. My goal is to help you stop just surviving and start living with more confidence, clarity and authenticity. If you're ready for real change, I'd love to help.

Waitlist for new clients
Currently waitlisting only neurodivergent clients (ADHD, ASD, AuDHD, PDA) and parental support clients.
While my specialties are ADHD, ASD, anxiety and panic disorders, and parental support, I mainly just enjoy connecting with folks who have identified that therapy might be helpful for them. I like building relationships and getting to know people through the therapeutic lens. I believe that a safe space wherein someone can be vulnerable and authentic is the strongest foundation for healing. My therapeutic demeanor is casual and warm, and I love nothing more than helping someone feel seen, heard, and like there's a path forward.

Life can feel messy, heavy, or uncertain- and that’s okay. Therapy is a space where you get to be fully yourself: defining what’s working, what’s not, and where you want to go. It’s rooted in real connection, not quick fixes, and guided by the belief that healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken, but rediscovering what’s already inside of you- resilience, clarity, and the strength to move forward. All parts of you are welcome- the messy, the heavy, and the hard to name. If anxiety, grief, trauma, or life changes leave you stuck, therapy can help you find your way.
