I've worked with anxiety, depression, autism, ADHD, behavioral issues, scrupulosity, perfectionism, OCD, self harm/suicidality, trauma, social difficulties, and low self worth.
I have two main specialties, teenagers and individuals with Autism. With both of these groups, trusting and opening up can be a challenge. It is common for them to feel awkward and out of place. I take a client centered approach, identifying values, building on strengths, and focusing on what they uniquely bring to the table. I use ACT, CBT, ERP, and EMDR.

We believe every individual is special and uniquely gifted, with something meaningful to offer both themselves and the world. There has never been—and never will be—anyone quite like you. The experiences we encounter, past and present, shape how we view ourselves today and how we imagine tomorrow. Along life’s journey, these moments can become either roadblocks or stepping stones.

Getting to know you is the BEST part of what I do. It can take courage to go to therapy, and I totally respect that. I love working with young adults, teens, older children, and women's issues. It's important for me to listen deeply before jumping to solutions. If you haven't felt heard in the past, let's start there. We can craft the path forward once we see where things really are.

I provide assessment for diagnostic clarification of autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, learning disorders, mood and anxiety disorders, and the impact of trauma.
I work with people and families seeking psychological assessment to better understand how they think, feel, and learn — and to provide clear, compassionate guidance on what can help moving forward. Though assessment can often lead to a specific diagnosis, the broader information gleaned about one's functioning can guide intervention and support personal growth. Over the years, I have found that assessment can be a therapeutic and powerful step in understanding one's self or one’s child. I work from a trauma-informed, neurodivergence-affirming lens and value this collaborative process of discovery.
