If you're feeling exhausted from being misunderstood, burned out from masking how you truly feel, or overwhelmed by day-to-day life, you are not alone. Many people who reach out to me say things like, “I’m doing okay on the outside, but falling apart on the inside,” or “I’m so tired of trying to hold it all together.” I work with neurodivergent (Autistic folks, ADHDers) and LGBTQIA+ kids (6+), teens, and young adults navigating anxiety, perfectionism, identity, trauma, life changes and emotional overwhelm. You deserve a space where all of your experiences and parts of you are welcome.

I offer therapy that is warm, empathic, collaborative, and grounded in connection. I use parts work (IFS), expressive tools, and attachment-based approaches, shaping sessions around what works best for you. That might look like talking, drawing, moving, or taking a reflective pause. Our work centers your voice, your lived experience, and your goals.

If you’re looking for a space that feels genuine and affirming, you’re in the right place. I offer in person and virtual sessions in a calm and sensory-friendly setting. If you have been thinking, “maybe therapy could help, but I don’t know where to start” we can figure that out together. I’d love to connect and see if we are a good fit!

I support kids, teens, and young adults navigating anxiety, identity, trauma, emotional regulation, and burnout. Many are neurodivergent, LGBTQIA, or deeply feeling. We start by building trust, then explore tools that support growth. Clients often leave feeling more connected, less overwhelmed, and more able to be their full, authentic selves.
