I support individuals navigating life’s complexities—setting boundaries with family or work, building a life that honors both ambition and connection, and making space for joy. I work with neurodivergent clients to harness their strengths in relationships, school, and the workplace. I also hold space for grief in all its forms—loss of a loved one, a role, or a sense of self—knowing there’s no shortcut, only the path through. I don’t have all the answers (no matter what you’re facing), but I believe you do—and I’m here to help you find them through deep listening, reflection, a dose of humor, and a steady focus on your strengths.
I work with individuals, parents, and couples navigating neurodivergence, grief, family boundaries, and the big questions about love, work, and purpose. Using existential therapy, ACT, and humor (sometimes it's so bad, you have to laugh), I offer a warm, supportive space to explore what matters most and build more meaning in your life.
Whatever you’re carrying—grief, overwhelm, questions about who you are or where you're going—you don’t have to sort through it alone. Therapy can be a space to feel seen, supported, and even laugh a little along the way. If you’re ready to explore, grow, or just breathe easier, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
