A history of Trauma or Substance Use may have you feeling stuck in the mud, or perhaps there are pieces of your identity such as ADHD, Autism, Spiritual, or Gender/Sexual identity that have posed their own set of challenges in feeling accepted in the world.
I place value on learning how you perceive the world and your place in it. I then tailor a variety of therapeutic models including: Person-Centered, Adlerian, and CBT, to best suit your needs and pave a path for growth. I offer individual, couples, and family counseling sessions, providing the flexibility to view your concerns through multiple lenses.

I enjoy helping support people with trauma, ADHD and Autism, mood disorders, life transitions, and family-of-origin issues.
I am so pumped that you're here! I know what it feels like to seek out a new therapist, and I don’t take for granted the courage and vulnerability it takes for you to share these parts of yourself. My goal is to create a pathway to help you reveal your authentic self. We do this by examining what’s been conditioned and impressed upon you while also identifying what feels true and authentic to who you are. I approach this work first and foremost with compassion, curiosity, open-mindedness, and authenticity. I believe there is room for pain and humor in therapy. I promise to keep it real with you and to share some laughs, too!

My early training as a psychologist involved the use of a developmental, humanistic/existential, client centered approach, but over time I have incorporated many other techniques, most notably Mindfulness Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Gestalt therapy. With younger children, I use play and art therapy and behavior modification for behavior disorders.

Although I enjoy working with all kinds of problems, my specialty is working with ADHD/ Autism and the LGBTQ+ community.
I pull from multiple therapy modalities depending on what feels like the best fit but my clinical work is always trauma-informed. I commonly utilize a person centered approach as well as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and some elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with a healthy dose of humor on the side.

Whether you’re a teen (or a parent of one), neurodivergent (ADHD, Autism, OCD, etc.
I don’t believe therapy is “one size fits all”. No one knows you like you do. They don’t know how many water bottles are in your room or car right now. They may know you’re really funny, but they don't always give you credit. I take time to get to know you. Then we build a plan using things that not only work in theory, but work for you!
