Is something out of balance in your life? With yourself? Your child? Your effectiveness as a parent? Your relationships? Life circumstances/transitions? If it is, please know that my way of practicing is to non-judgmentally understand what is going on--what area of your life is being negatively impacted. Then we can collaboratively work on establishing goals and a treatment plan. Whether it is Anxiety, OCD,
Autism

autism
), Depression/Bipolar, Behavior Problems, ADHD, Trauma or Insomnia, there is a way for you or your child to feel more in control, grounded and balanced.

As a mom of a tween with
Autism
and ADHD, I know how hard it is to find help and how stressful that can be.
We specialize in neuropsychological assessments and evidence-based treatment for children, teens, and adults, while also providing treatment for anxiety and mood conditions. Do you or a loved one have difficulty at school, work, or with relationships? Are you concerned about your child's social development? Are you wondering if your child has ADHD or a learning disability? Are you concerned about changes with your parent's memory or behavior?

I am not accepting clients at this time. At the bottom of my profile is a script you can use to reach out to other therapists when emailing them. If you do reach out to me, email is the best method of contact. If you suspect you're neurodivergent I have a direct communication style that is often compatible with folks who have ADHD and
autism
. I use an affirming, strengths-based perspective, and an anti-oppressive lens on the reality that we're in a neurotypical world to talk about how you can best manage sensory issues, info processing, and social issues as they arise.

Individuals who benefit from our work present with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges,
Autism
, and women's challenges.
This isn’t how you pictured it. Why is life so disappointing? You’re overwhelmed by responsibilities and stress, so you procrastinate by binging Netflix. You feel lonely, but meeting new people just seems too hard. This is supposed to be the best time of your life! Everyone else seem like they’ve got it together. What are you doing wrong? First off, you are not doing anything wrong. It is a lot of pressure to figure out your career, relationships, and life goals. Sometimes our efforts to cope with a difficult situation don’t make a difference. I understand that feeling of "not enough" and I am here to help!

I have experience and knowledge in working with individuals that are TBLGQ or live with grief, trauma,
autism
, PTSD, C-PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, and many other mental health concerns.
I believe therapy is a space where you can unload things that you are struggling to carry alone, develop clear insight, build greater self-compassion, and address barriers that keep you from achieving your goals. The first step in doing any one of these things is building a strong relationship with your therapist. I strive to make this possible by providing an open, judgement-free, and warm space where you can share who you are and what you are struggling to manage. I regularly work with folx age 14 and up on finding ways to manage their anxious or depressive thinking, and alleviate their stress.

spectrum disorders.
Every person is a unique individual who relates to the world in a different way. My goal is to form a collaborative relationship with each person that leads to self-discovery and growth. The therapeutic process is about each individual person's unique experience with their own symptoms and behaviors.
