As a somatic and attachment focused therapist I support adolescents, parents, young adults, and adults struggling with trauma, life transitions, parenting, relationship concerns, and challenges related to neurodiversity.
Sessions with me may look like using somatic tools to better connect to the body. Or I may use psychoanalytic and attachment methods to explore how past relationships impact current ones. In my nature-based sessions we may go for a walk through the trees or sit beside the water and explore how the world around us can be a guide for healing.

Raising healthy and happy children with ADHD can be a big job, but the good news is that you do not have to do it alone. There is a lot that can be done to help! ADHD is a complex neurodevelopmental condition that impacts each child differently. ADHD has little to do with how "smart" your child might be, but it has a lot to do with your child's ability to regulate their attention, mood, and behaviors. When symptoms of ADHD lead to lower self-esteem, mental health concerns, behavioral challenges, or academic struggles, it is a good time to seek professional help.

I specialize in OCD, anxiety disorders, panic, phobias, BFRBs, trauma, and parenting support.

Parenting can be both beautiful and incredibly hard—especially when your child is struggling and nothing you’ve tried seems to help.
I specialize in supporting parents of children with special needs, neurodivergence, or histories of trauma or adoption. With younger children, I use play therapy to help process big emotions and communicate in the way that feels most natural to them—through play. With teens, I use strength-based & solution-focused approaches to build insight and confidence.
