Are you struggling to discover or embrace your identity, practice self-love, or struggling to function in day-to-day life? Are you stuck in a shame cycle, feeling overwhelmed and burnt out? Are you eager to break generational cycles? I work with people who are often givers, parents, act as their friends’ therapist, or teenagers trying to figure out life. I specialize in working with neurodivergent people (Autism and ADHD) providing neuro-affirming therapy, along with assessment and diagnosis. I also work cycle breakers, teenagers and adults, and those navigating pregnancy loss, infertility, and perinatal mental health.
Neurodivergence: With or without a formal diagnosis, I am here to support you as a therapist to embrace your authenticity and help you build a more comfortable life. Teenagers: Navigating peer relationships, experiencing bullying, anxiety or low self-esteem, and/or life transitions? I bring 8+ years of experience of working with teens to the therapy room.
I am passionate about providing you with a non-judgmental space of genuine care, encouraging you to build self-compassion, identity exploration and acceptance. Everyone deserves a compassionate space to discover and embrace their authentic self, and it's okay to ask for help. You are not alone, and I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.
