Whether you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or simply ready for change, therapy can help you find clarity, peace, and renewed strength. I work with children, teens, adults, and couples navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, neurodiverse experiences, and relationship challenges. As a certified ADOS provider, I offer Autism assessments and support for individuals and families. I draw from EMDR, play therapy, cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, and attachment-based approaches to promote healing and growth. Together, we’ll explore the “why” behind your struggles and the “how” toward lasting change.
My client-centered approach means our work is guided by your goals, strengths, and values. Clients describe me as warm, compassionate, and easy to talk to, creating a safe space for exploration and growth. I also integrate mindfulness, attachment-based, and solution-focused strategies to help you build balance, resilience, and meaningful connection.
Along with my work as a therapist, I teach master’s-level psychology courses and supervise a team of dedicated associates who share my commitment to helping clients grow and heal. Together, we’re here to support you in finding peace, balance, and a deeper sense of well-being.
