One of the hardest things to do in life is change, especially if you have been made to feel that your mind, body, and lifestyle are inherently wrong. But you don't have to do it alone. The bravest thing you can do in life is reach out for help. And I'm here to do just that. This is your life. You deserve to know yourself, be yourself, and control your own future. As a neurodivergent affirming therapist, it is my privilege to help Autistic, ADHDer, and other neurodivergent people overcome trauma and live their best lives.

You're wanting to feel alive and comfortable in your own skin, but you find yourself freezing up or overwhelmed with images from the past or stuck in ways you can't explain. While talking about it can be helpful, if you're dealing with a trauma or ingrained stress response, it gets stuck in the body and talking alone doesn't unlock the trauma patterns in the body. Body-based modalities combined with talking really help to unwind trauma patterns. If you come see me, we won't only sit in chairs talking.

Life can be challenging, stressful, messy, scary, & imperfect. We carry so many burdens, often quietly, and sometimes we even start to feel like a burden ourselves. At other times, our own minds can be the loudest and most exhausting part of it all.
You don’t have to navigate any of this alone.
I’m deeply committed to helping people unburden their hearts and souls so they can feel more free, more grounded, and more themselves. Therapy doesn’t mean your life suddenly becomes easy, but it can become lighter, clearer, and far less lonely.

My work is rooted in understanding that trauma affects both the mind and body. Healing is not only about talking through pain, but also recognizing how stress and trauma impact the nervous system, physical health, and sense of safety. As a former first responder, I have seen how repeated crisis and high-stress environments affect emotional well-being, relationships, identity, and functioning. This shapes my counseling approach to be compassionate, practical, trauma-informed, and grounded in real-life experience.

I work with clients navigating one or more of the following: general anxiety, grief from losing a loved one or a relationship, or trauma that still shapes a sense of self and relationships, people with communication and trust challenges within relationships, and major life transitions like midlife, career changes, moves, becoming a parent, divorce or leaving for college. When working with trauma, safety, trust, and intentional pacing of sessions is prioritized. Skills that increase feelings of being grounded, supported, and in control are built over time as you move toward healing and healthier connections.

I am an addiction expert and psychologist who works with individuals, spouses, and families struggling with the devastating impact of addiction, trauma, and relational distress. Many of my clients turn to substances or compulsive behaviors as a way of coping, while others engage in self-harming patterns that can also become addictive in nature. These struggles often affect not only the individual but also their loved ones—and healing requires addressing the whole system.
