As a therapist, everyone can benefit from having someone to talk to. Whether that be processing life stressors, loss, anxiety, depression, and everything in between. My role is to create a safe, comfortable space that promotes collaboration and honors all identities and genders. I also honor and respect the connection between the mind, body, and spirit. While I work with all individuals, I have extensive experience working with adolescents and teens, specifically processing grief and challenging life transitions. I am also vastly trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

There's a version of stress that just becomes the new normal, and a lot of teens carry it for way longer than anyone realizes. I work with adolescents navigating school pressure, anxiety, ADHD, friendships, family expectations, and the larger question of figuring out who they are. With a background in school counseling, I understand how closely academic, social, and emotional challenges are connected and how quickly they can stack up. I create a space where teens feel genuinely heard without judgment, not evaluated, not told what to do, just listened to.

Biofeedback training is like learning to drive a car in the middle of the lane.
I love my approach to brain wave training with neurofeedback. It is broadly effective at producing substantial results in your life that are enduring. Most often I see people with anxiety, depression, insomnia, ADHD, migraine, brain injury, PTSD, addictions, and mood disorders. I believe that most people with psychological issues have brain wave activity that is either over-aroused or under-aroused. That is, either too much or too little brain wave activity in either the fast or slow frequencies. Mental problems are a timing issue in the brain. These timing issues can be corrected by practicing a better way to function.
