At some point, many of us find ourselves carrying more than we were ever meant to carry. I support individuals who feel overwhelmed, burned out, or misunderstood - often navigating the lasting impact of trauma, anxiety, or depression. My clients are seeking more than just coping skills; they want to feel grounded, safe in their own skin, and respected for who they truly are. I provide a space that is neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed, and centered on honoring each client’s unique wiring and lived experiences.
My areas of expertise include trauma, ADHD, women’s issues, mood disorders, anxiety, and depression. I work with children, teens, and adults, using play-based strategies with younger clients. I integrate EMDR, IFS, CBT, and Family Systems Therapy to help clients process painful experiences, regulate emotions, and build insight and resilience.
My approach is person-centered and humanistic, meaning I view each person as inherently worthy, capable of growth, and the expert on their own life. Whether we're processing trauma, supporting a child through play, exploring neurodivergent identity, or building daily strategies, my goal is to walk alongside clients as they move toward healing and clarity.

It's my belief that therapy is not "one size fits all," and I work together with my clients to create a custom treatment plan that works best for them. I draw from many different modalities, depending on my clients' needs. Those include Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Play Therapy, and more.
