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.
