One unique specialty I have is working with neurodivergent individuals, whether it be autism, ADHD, trauma, etc. I am both autistic and ADHD myself, and have an autistic child. This puts me in a unique position to truly understand what parents may be struggling with, but also offer a different perspective from your neurotypical therapist. My ideal clientele consist of neurodivergent individuals, parents raising autistic children, and family members of neurodivergent individuals. I am a very laid back therapist, but also firm on boundaries and in necessary parts of treatment.

The constant pressure to "hold it together" is exhausting. Whether it’s a heavy fog of depression that won’t lift or the lonely silence that has grown between you and your partner, you’re tired of feeling disconnected and misunderstood. You may wonder if life and relationships are supposed to feel this hard—or if something could truly be different. You are likely carrying a sense of heaviness that doesn’t seem to lift, feeling caught in the same patterns or having the same arguments. I work with individuals and couples who are ready to understand what’s happening beneath the surface and take intentional steps toward change.

You’re doing a lot to keep things together—but underneath, it still feels overwhelming. Maybe you and your partner keep having the same argument and nothing actually changes. Maybe your child is struggling and you’re second-guessing everything. Or maybe you’re the one holding it all, and you’re exhausted, anxious, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break. This is where we slow things down and figure out what’s really going on. I use approaches like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman-informed work, Family Systems, EMDR, and CBT—but more importantly, I tailor things to what actually fits you and your situation.

I am a Christian and if you are looking for Christian counseling, I counsel from both grace and truth using scripture and prayer as you are comfortable.
Are you a woman who constantly gives but has difficulty caring for yourself? Do you find yourself in relationships that lack boundaries? Do you always defer to others preferences and ignore your own wants and needs? Does it feel like you have lost your sense of self? If so, you are making the right choice considering counseling. I would love to support you as you find yourself again (or maybe for the first time). I am currently accepting new clients and have availability only on Friday evenings

You may feel stuck in patterns you understand logically but struggle to change emotionally. Perhaps stress, overwhelm, emotional eating, or ongoing challenges in relationships have become ways of coping, even though they no longer serve you. You’re motivated for change, yet frustrated by cycles of short-term progress followed by setbacks. You want lasting relief, greater self-trust, and healthier relationships—with food, your body, and the people in your life.

My ideal clients are people who have often felt a little different - highly sensitive, neurodivergent, creative, or simply out of step with the expectations around them. Many come to therapy struggling with anxiety, burnout, identity questions, or the sense that they never quite fit. I help clients understand how their minds work, develop practical coping skills, and build lives that feel authentic rather than forced. When helpful, we may draw on stories, fandoms, or personal interests as ways to explore identity and growth.

As a Christian, I can offer a faith perspective for those interested as well.
Do you feel 'stuck' in life's transitions? Have you disqualified yourself due to life experiences? Interpersonal relationships, empty nest, work changes, and other issues bring things to the surface we didn't expect to experience. We may not like ourselves. It doesn't have to stay that way! Maybe the work world has exposed areas of interpersonal growth needed to advance in your field, or you're ready to finally chase your dream. It's never too late to discover a new skill, career, identity, purpose, and direction. You have an opportunity within your current challenges to use it as as springboard to see your dreams become reality.

Christian Therapists
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same belief system or background to be able to work effectively together, but a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond with individuals from a range of backgrounds, as they will have experience in tailoring their approach to each client—and will be prepared to acknowledge and consider the effects of culture, religion, and other factors on each individual.

Why is it important to find a therapist sensitive to Christian values?
Each person brings a unique history and background to therapy, making it important to find a licensed therapist who is trained in a broad range of treatment modalities. In addition, for people who grow up in a faith tradition that strongly influences the way they conduct their everyday life, finding a therapist who understands or shares that background can ease the disclosure of sensitive information and facilitate the therapeutic process. For some clients, a Christian therapist is likely to incorporate faith-based principles into emotional healing techniques.

How do I recognize an effective Christian therapist?
Christian therapists are licensed mental health professionals—holding a master’s or doctoral degree in medicine, nursing, psychology, counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy—who are also familiar with Christian beliefs and values. They have an understanding of the importance that Christian principles play in the lives of individuals and families, which allows them to be especially sensitive to the kinds of struggles that can affect daily functioning. Like all effective therapists, a Christian therapist will have undergone training and certification in a variety of treatment modalities that help people through crises and enable them to master the challenges of life.

Why might someone feel comfortable with a Christian therapist?
While training, qualifications, and experience are always important, research has long established that a strong alliance between client and therapist is a major contributor to therapeutic success. An alliance is likely to be strengthened with a therapist who not only is responsive to questions and concerns but also shares a client’s faith and values. Sensitivity to spiritual matters as well as to everyday struggles can provide a welcome sense of safety and contribute to the bond between client and therapist, both of which support the therapeutic process.

Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Christian therapists?
The directory of Christian therapists includes professionals who have shared their background in their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Christian clients, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation.
