I enjoy working with young adults navigating ADHD, autism, faith transitions, and difficult family dynamics.
I offer a warm and direct approach that is grounded in helping clients build self-compassion and self-trust. I create space for clients to explore their inner world with curiosity, helping them understand and embrace themselves and their individual way of thinking and experiencing the world.

Congratulations on taking the first step on your therapy journey! I believe the best indicator of success in therapy is the strength of the relationship between the client and the therapist. My approach is rooted in compassion, authenticity, humor, and trust. I strive to create a nonjudgmental space where you can bring your real self, your challenges, hopes, and questions, without fear of being dismissed or minimized.

I've spent most of the last decade working with children of all ages and their parents tackling concerns and frustrations related to Autism Spectrum Disorder, Reactive Attachment Disorder, ADHD, depression and anxiety symptoms.
I provide education on the mental health disorders affecting the family, provide evidence based treatment techniques, then review and adjust techniques to individualize treatment unique to the family. Lastly, I part ways with cases only when I feel confident knowing that the family is equipped with the necessary skills and resources to maintain their change.

I specialize in adult Autism and ADHD evaluations, often for people seeking clarity after years of being misunderstood or misdiagnosed.
I understand masking and subtle Autism and ADHD traits, especially in women and high-functioning adults who have learned to compensate. The evaluation centers on a detailed, conversational interview where we examine your experiences in real-life context. I prioritize your internal world, not just outward presentation. Let's make life less overwhelming.

If you've found yourself exploring options for your deepest work, congratulations on making that brave step towards yourself. I find the folks I work best with, are in your position after trying all of the ways conditioning has offered for survival and feel defeated, anxious, depressed, and/or burnt out. Desiring to feel more connected to your truest and vital self after years of survival, caretaking, or aligning to the ways your upbringing taught you was the "right" way, and lost -your- way. I will meet you where you're at and offer a safe and warm therapeutic space that will support and guide you towards thriving over surviving.
