Are you tired of hearing therapists say "how does that make you feel?" Do you know that therapy can help but it seems like you keep trying therapists that just seem to want to sort of listen to you, take your money, and say see you next week? Are you tired of having to constantly feel like your therapist just doesn't get the real world? Me too! So I've created my practice to be different. I work with people who struggle with anxiety and trauma with a subfocus of ADHD and neurodivergence. They often come to me feeling frustrated and just wanting to stop the cycle of therapy and just feel f'ing better.

I offer therapy that isn't taught in schools where they tell you to nod, keep a straight face, and always ask how that makes a person feel. Instead, I take evidence-based therapy modalities, mix them together, and add a little neurospiciness to it to make your experience unique to you. So whether you're an adult or teen you feel heard and validated.

So you've read this far and think I'm possibly a good fit for you? Excellent! Reach out and we'll set up a free consultation phone call to make sure that I'm a good fit for you and your needs. If I'm not a good fit no harm no foul! At least you tried and maybe I know someone else who will be a better fit for you. Talk with you soon! Evening Appts Available

I work with issues like anxiety, trauma, and stress, using EMDR to process past experiences. Alongside EMDR, I pull in tools from CBT, DBT, and other approaches to support you day-to-day. With this blend, you can expect to feel more grounded, in control, and ready to face life's challenges with confidence and calm.
