I specialize in treating anxiety and depression that often accompany ADHD. Do you feel like you've always had to work twice as hard as everyone else in order to keep everything together? Your mind doesn't shut off and it leads to your anxiety spiraling about what you said, how you acted, or what's to come in the future. Everyday feels incredibly overwhelming while everyone else seems to make it through. You want to feel calmer and more in control without losing your drive. I believe that even though you are not in crisis, you deserve to feel like you are thriving rather than just surviving.

I enjoy working with teenagers, artists, activists, meditators, spiritual seekers, neurodivergent people, queer and trans people, people in non-monogamous relationships, people with chronic illness, and anyone interested in learning to how to extend care to all the feelings that live within us.
Being a human is difficult. Life is stressful and overwhelming. Things just don’t seem to make sense. And sometimes it feels like it’s your fault for not being able to keep up with it. You try and put effort in, but the same patterns keep repeating and you find yourself again demoralized, hurt, and confused. Why can’t you get it right? The good news is that there’s nothing wrong with you. These are normal reactions to the way things are. In the therapy room, we can slow things down to be with the stress and overwhelm, the hurt and confusion. We can bring compassion and validation to the tender areas that need healing and rest.

As an Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed therapist, I offer a non-pathologizing, compassionate approach grounded in the belief that we are all doing our best, often with strategies that once kept us safe or met our needs.
Collaboratively, we can explore whether those strategies still serve you and create space for new, empowered choices in how you relate to yourself and the world.
Therapy with me is relational, supportive and direct. It won’t always be comfortable AND you will be held with care and respect through it.

I specialize in working with teens struggling with anxiety, ADHD, and ASD.
Sometimes we find ourselves feeling stuck and unsure of what to do. Sometimes we think we know what the problem is but are unsure about what to do with that information. This is where therapy can come in - an open space in which to discuss what perhaps currently only exists in your mind. To let your thoughts breathe and to experience yourself without judgment from others and without judgment from yourself. To learn to accept yourself as who you are, to find ways to cope, healthier ways to live, and to go forward into the world with more confidence.

The couples I work with want to be unified and feel like they are together in their relationship. The adults want to be happy and content.

Autism Therapists
What is the most effective treatment for autism?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) has come to be considered the standard treatment for children with autism spectrum disorder, and research has confirmed its effectiveness for many children. Therapists trained in ABA techniques work with children (and their parents) on developing social skills, communication and learning abilities, and everyday habits of hygiene and grooming. The clinician will tailor their program to the child’s particular need but the overarching goal will be to help them advance as far as possible toward independence based on their level of symptoms and decrease the need for additional special services. Families should seek a mental health professional specifically trained in ABA, and holding special certification in the technique, who has extensive experience not only with the approach but in using it with children with the same level of symptoms as the child who needs care.
How does ABA work?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) sessions, which typically focus on positive reinforcement, can be intensive, lasting two or more hours several times a week, and continuing for two years or more. Therapists can also be expected to ask parents to take an active role in reinforcing lessons. Research has found that the technique can lead to major improvements that decrease the need for additional special services.
How does treatment for autism work?
Therapy sessions based on Applied Behavior Analysis will likely be frequent, intensive, and highly structured. After a thorough assessment, a therapist will help a child understand and develop skills in a range of areas, including communication, motor skills, social skills, self-care, play, and academic skills, as well as routines of daily living like hygiene. Typically, the therapist will help a child break down the components of a behavior—often referred to as the antecedent (what prompts an action), the behavior, and the consequence(what immediately follows)—and then reward the child at every step, while also asking parents to reinforce the lessons, and the rewards, throughout the day. This core therapy may be supplemented by occupational or speech therapy, and antidepressants, antipsychotics, and anticonvulsants may be prescribed to address specific severe symptoms.
How long does therapy for autism take?
Some people with autism spectrum disorder may be engaged in some level of therapy for many years, but research shows that treatment will be most effective if it is begun early and delivered intensively. When therapy begins by age 3, children tend to be better able to grasp and adopt the skills needed to manage everyday life, including attending school and establishing social relationships. This type of early-intervention treatment regimen is highly structured, typically involving 20 to 40 hours of one-on-one therapy per week, along with additional hours of engagement managed by parents, for a period of two years or more, although the duration of treatment is dependent on the child’s level of symptoms and pace of progress.
