Do you feel overwhelmed, scattered, or stuck, even when you are trying your best? Whether you are dealing with trauma, chronic stress, or living with a neurodivergent brain like ADHD, you do not have to go through it alone. I take a mind-body approach to therapy, helping clients understand how their nervous system, emotions, and thought patterns are connected. Together, we develop realistic strategies to support focus, emotional balance, and daily functioning, while also creating space for healing and self-discovery.
I use evidence-based therapies such as EMDR and Internal Family Systems, along with tools that help calm the body and build awareness from the inside out. My approach honors neurodiversity and centers compassion, insight, and respect for your unique experience.
I offer a free phone or video consultation to see if we are a good fit. Sessions are available in person or through telehealth, with flexible scheduling including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends by request. You do not need to have everything figured out. You just need a place to begin.
