My clients are adults seeking testing for autism or ADHD. Maybe a family member was recently diagnosed, you've been given diagnoses that don't make sense, or you're tired of being told your struggles are "all in your head,"that you just need to "try harder" or "stop being so lazy." Maybe you found neurodivergent social media and finally feel understood. I believe you when you say you feel different. Together we can together to discover the "why" behind those feelings. The why that can give you the freedom to rewrite your story.

As your therapist, I will provide a warm and supportive counseling environment where we will begin to work through any current or past challenges or stressors that have led you here. Therapy is most effective when you feel safe and validated as you open up about your life experiences. Through my candor, use of humor, and interactive feedback during sessions, I aim to do just that. My scope of practice includes working with individuals who may experience various forms of anxiety, low self-esteem and those in the neurodiverse and Autism communities.

caregiver stress, autism, attention deficit disorders, family/relationship issues, spiritual awakening issues, post-traumatic stress, childhood trauma, and relational trauma.
Hi there! I want to personally welcome you to the journey. I deeply believe that therapy is an intimate journey into the self. I followed my own inner calling to become a therapist and am honored to be able to do this work. I have a firm belief that experiencing life without developing your own meaning, being your most authentic self, and practicing presence daily is quite fruitless, joyless, and confusing. I help my clients move past their fears and get moving on their goals to be their best version of their best selves to live a more balance authentic life.

When life feels messy, out-of-control, even unbearable, it's easy to forget that the human experience is inherently a messy one. Much of the mess is our best attempts at functioning under a deeply flawed and oppressive system. If you seek to understand yourself and your relationships to people and systems around you, to grow and heal, and to explore being human, I would love to share this experience with you. I work with individuals, couples, and families struggling with challenges such as individual/generational trauma, sex/intimacy, adoption/fostering, interracial couples/families, ADHD/ Autism, and LGBTQIA+ challenges.

I invite anyone who feels the need to talk to someone who is ready and eager to listen to them. Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar Disorder 1 &2, ADHD, Autism and Attachment are some of the main issues that bring clients to me. I have worked in mental, behavioral and relational health for the last ten years and am excited to welcome couples, duos, ethically and consensually non-monogamous clients as well as individuals. One approach to issues which I have adopted in my practice is the idea that all behavior is communication, sometimes we need some help finding out what we are trying to say.

It is hard to know when to seek help and where to find it. I offer one free consult session to help you figure it out. I work with adults, early career professionals, and college age students struggling with family, social, relationship, and identity stressors, as well as trauma, anxiety, and depression. I also enjoy partnering with children and teens to address depression and anxiety. I frequently work with these symptoms when a person also has a co-morbid ADHD or Autism. When appropriate, I can offer short term targeted treatments for anxiety and executive functioning goals. Resilience is at the core of my work.
