I provide both in-person therapy in Danvers and telehealth sessions across the state. I work well with neurodivergent teens, young adults, and caregivers navigating overwhelm, school avoidance, burnout, or identity questions. Many of the people I support feel misunderstood or stuck in systems that don’t honor who they are. They’re looking for validation, clarity, and support that aligns with their lived experience. I am currently accepting prospective clients for my waitlist only. If you would like to add yourself or your child, please complete the interest form on my website. I will reach out as openings become available.
I offer trauma-informed, neuro and PDA-affirming therapy rooted in relational, person-centered care. I specialize in PDA, AuDHD, caregiver stress, and school-based challenges. Together, we build insight, regulation, and strategies that honor your strengths.
If you're feeling overwhelmed, unseen, or exhausted from trying to "push through," you're not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out on your own. I’d be honored to support you in finding relief, understanding, and ways to move forward that feel doable and true to you.

Building trust is vital in the therapeutic process & is different for each client. This is a co-created art - not a science! While we hit the ground running the day you start therapy, you decide the pace & direction of our work together. I believe in offering all treatment recommendations to clients so they can make the best decision on what will lead to their growth & progress.
