Meaningful change begins with feeling understood, supported, and empowered. Throughout my work as a therapist, I have had the privilege of walking alongside people as they navigate challenges related to mental health, neurodiversity, life transitions, and personal growth. Much of my work focuses on supporting individuals navigating neurodiversity—including ASD, NVLD, and ADHD—as well as anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions.

A clouded, anxious mind, a broken heart, a body that won’t quiet down. You have tried things and made progress, but you are still waiting for life to feel brighter and lighter. Maybe you are a young person under so much pressure, uncertain about the future, or you are someone who has endured so many hard things. Maybe you are just tired of feeling so much, or not feeling anything at all. You are wondering if a new path is possible. It is.

Hello, I’m so glad you have found me, reaching out for support takes real courage (and maybe a deep breath or two).

In our sessions, you’ll find a collaborative, compassionate space to be yourself, unpack what’s been weighing you down, and develop tools to help you move forward.

My approach is trauma-informed, affirming, and highly individualized.
Through collaborative work, practical coping strategies, and evidence-based interventions, I help young people develop emotional regulation skills, build confidence, and create lasting positive change. Parents and guardians play an important role in a young person's growth and healing. When caring adults are open to listening, learning, and making changes alongside their child, counseling can become even more meaningful and effective.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Whether you are struggling with feelings of low self-esteem and self-blame or overwhelm and worry, it is painful to be stuck in a never-ending loop of negativity and uncertainty. These beliefs impact all aspect of our lives from our relationships with our loved ones and friends to our careers and education. Often, we get stuck continuing the same patterns because we don’t know what else to do and we can feel at a loss. The good news is, you have already taken the first step in changing the cycle just by being here.

Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns they cannot seem to change. They often struggle with overthinking, internal pressure, self-doubt, or relationship challenges that leave them feeling emotionally drained and uncertain about how to move forward.
I work with adolescents and adults who want more than temporary relief. They want to understand themselves on a deeper level and create meaningful, lasting change. Whether you are navigating anxiety, life transitions, or relationship difficulties, therapy offers a space to slow down, gain clarity, and begin approaching life differently.

Feeling stressed, burned out, disconnected, or stuck? Maybe you are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or the pressure of holding everything together while struggling underneath. Maybe everything is spilling out in your life.
Many of the people I help have high-stress roles & prioritize the care of others above their needs - medical providers, educators, first responders, caregivers, & other professionals.
I also work with men who struggle with irritability, stress, shutting down, overthinking, or feel numb & disconnected and who want to show up better for their partners, their families, and themselves.
