I specialize in working with teens and adults navigating trauma, emotional abuse, ADHD, and identity-related stress, including LGBTQ+ experiences. My style is collaborative, affirming, and tailored to you—I focus on helping you understand your patterns, build coping strategies that actually work day-to-day, and feel more grounded in yourself and your relationships. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start, we’ll move at a pace that feels safe while still creating meaningful change.
I strive to create a space that feels affirming, neurodivergent-friendly, and inclusive of all identities, including LGBTQ+ experiences. Therapy with me is not about judgment or “fixing” you—it’s about helping you better understand yourself, feel more grounded, and move toward the kind of life and relationships that feel authentic and sustainable.
Reaching out for support can feel really hard—especially if you’ve been used to handling things on your own or aren’t sure if therapy will help. If something here resonates with you, you’re welcome to reach out when you feel ready. I’m happy to answer questions and help you get a sense of whether working together feels like it'll be a good fit.

I work with clients who can struggle with trauma, ADHD, anxiety and depression. If you use insurance, our first session will talk about a what you have been experiencing and diagnosis that we need to use to help determine where you want the treatment plan. I look at a treatment plan as a "living document" which means that it can change when your mental health needs change.
