From middle school to early adulthood, life is full of exciting new chapters—but also challenging plot twists. School pressures, trouble with friends, new transitions, family dynamics, or even day-to-day stress can leave us feeling anxious, unmotivated, or overwhelmed. For neurodivergent individuals, these experiences can feel even more intense, as navigating a world not designed with you in mind adds unique challenges. It's not easy to navigate these moments alone. When you feel seen and understood, you move forward with confidence and resilience. Let's create your next great chapter together.
I've spent 10+ years helping neurodiverse youth and families heal, repair relationships, and manage stress. Coming from a neurodiverse family led me to become an Autism Specialist. I understand the challenges of navigating systems, identity, & societal pressures. My affirming, fun, and empowering approach uses mindfulness, CBT, DBT, & ACT to meet your needs.
I believe that everyone can build healthy, supportive relationships, recognize their strengths, and develop practical tools to thrive in any setting. Together, we can create a new chapter for your life, one where you feel understood, confident, and ready to take on whatever comes next. I invite you to start the next chapter with me today.

I base my practice in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to examine patterns in thoughts, and connection to our emotions and actions. I use pieces of mindfulness, DBT, and Acceptance-Commitment Therapy to create an empowering approach. My patients notice stronger relationships, improved motivation, and better confidence. In sessions, we identify strengths, explore concepts, and develop realistic tools.
