You may feel overwhelmed, stuck in overthinking, or unsure how to trust yourself. Maybe ADHD, emotional intensity, executive-function struggles, or family stress are part of the picture. Parents often reach out when their child has big feelings, anxiety, or difficulty adjusting to changes like divorce or loss. Clients want life to feel more manageable, relationships easier to navigate, and to feel calmer, more confident, and more like themselves.
I help children, teens, and women understand their nervous system, emotions, and executive functioning so life feels more manageable. I offer play therapy for children, parent coaching, and practical, neurodivergent-affirming therapy that builds regulation, self-trust, and confidence.
Starting therapy can feel awkward or uncertain. Most people come in feeling overwhelmed, self-critical, or stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand. Therapy gives you space to sort things out and begin responding differently, at your own pace.

I've supported children and families as a therapist, teacher, and parent. I'm in midlife, living with chronic illness and late-diagnosed neurodivergence, and I've done my own therapy work as well. I understand these struggles from the inside, and I know change is possible with the right support.

I draw from nervous-system-informed, neurodivergent-affirming, and practical therapeutic approaches. We'll explore patterns, track body signals, clarify values, and build strategies you can use in real-life moments — not just in session.
