I specialize in supporting neurodivergent clients. For youth- I offer gaming therapy to build social, emotional, and executive functioning skills, and I provide trauma-focused, strategic treatment planning. My approach is affirming, collaborative, and holistic, blending evidence-based tools with creativity and care. Whether you’re seeking support for your child, your relationship, or yourself, I meet you where you are-without judgment, and with a plan.
