I love working with individuals that identify with female-presenting high-masking neurodivergency, particularly in college-aged individuals. Some other terms for high-masking that are heard can be "high-functioning" or "late or self-diagnosed".
I believe in empowering ourselves and granting ourselves the skills needed to succeed in an environment that might be challenging otherwise. My main goal is to connect with you, and help you achieve your goals in whatever capacity it may present as.

You might be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure how to handle what’s going on in your life or your family. Many of the people I work with are dealing with stress, big emotions, relationship challenges, or changes at home or school. Sometimes it’s hard to put those feelings into words. Therapy can be a place to slow down, talk things through, and start making sense of what you’re experiencing.

You’re exhausted from constant battles, worried about your child or teen, and longing for a calmer home where they can thrive. I help families whose children struggle with anxiety, anger outbursts, or meltdowns feel less overwhelmed and more hopeful.
Together, we’ll uncover what’s fueling these behaviors—using cognitive-behavioral therapy, parent coaching, and practical strategies tailored to kids, teens, young adults, and their parents. You’ll learn tools to de-escalate the BIG emotions, build confidence, and strengthen your bond, so family life feels connected and joyful again.

I believe in holistic healing, using a dynamic and creative approach to psychotherapy, to help patients live presently and authentically. How you see is what you see. I believe every human is capable of change and the most effective way to start the process is to work together through curiosity, openness, and acceptance; collaborating to identify therapeutic treatment goals and to walk together in the treatment journey.

I have a diverse background in the evidence-based treatment of persons with trauma, eating disorders, co-occurring disorders, anxiety, mood disorders, LGBTQIA+ challenges and gender dysphoria. For clients with PTSD and other trauma, common goals include symptom reduction, coping, exploration and healing. With eating disorders, my practice is most appropriate for clients who have attended a higher level of care (e.g. Intensive Outpatient, Residential, PHP) and are looking to confront issues underlying the eating disorder. Clients seeking gender affirming care will find support with expression, transition, relationships and more.

Lately you’ve been asking yourself harder questions: Why do I keep feeling this way? Why do I repeat the same patterns, even when I know better? You’ve read, reflected, maybe even been in therapy before, but the same issues keep returning. You sense that something deeper is at play. You’re not looking for a list of strategies or coping skills; you want to understand what’s really driving your struggles and learn how to create meaningful, lasting change.
