I am currently serving adolescents and adults with depression and anxiety. I am knowledgeable about sensory issues, executive functioning, anxiety, and depression specific to the neurodivergent experience, and have an understanding of a variety of neurotypes; attention deficit disorder, autism, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and dyslexia. My clients want to feel understood and validated and tend to gain confidence in identifying their needs and advocating for themselves through therapy. I hope for clients to feel that they have real solutions to work towards and to know that I am ready to help them navigate challenges.
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with eight years of experience. I have an eclectic approach using processes that fit the client's needs. I work primarily with neurodivergent individuals and their families. I have a unique understanding of the mental health needs of the neurodiverse community.
I have a warm demeanor and create trusting relationships in an open, judgment-free, inclusive environment. Your input is vital, so I engage with curiosity and transparency.
