No matter what you have experienced or where you’ve come from, you will find that you feel heard, seen, and understood in counseling with me. You, your child, and your family are all unique, and I provide a space in which uniqueness is celebrated and identified to further emphasize your areas of strength. Sometimes life makes us feel buried and we may not know how to find our way out. However, each of us possesses an amazing potential for resilience, healing, and growth. I offer a compassionate and authentic space where we can identify life’s challenges and stressors together. You do not have to do this alone.

Have you been considering whether or not you may be neurodivergent? Maybe you were diagnosed as a child but have not processed how this diagnosis could affect you as an adult. Perhaps you’ve built a community of online friendships with people who think, feel, and act like you, and their diagnoses have led you to recognize their symptoms in yourself. If you’ve wondered about who you are, and how you fit into this world, I can help. As a late diagnosed adult, I offer support through the lens of someone that understands your struggles and recognizes the need for therapy to help navigate through a world that wasn’t built for us.

Are you feeling exhausted by the stress of life? Is anxiety or depression impacting your quality of life and relationships? Maybe you have past trauma or loss that needs healing so you can live life fully and authentically you. Or maybe something else has drawn you to seek out a counselor. Sometimes everything seems to be falling apart and a desperation emerges to seek change or support. Other times, nothing seems to be going wrong, but there are unsettled thoughts or emotions internally that don't line up with your outside life. Wherever you fall on the spectrum between "rock bottom" and "living the dream", you deserve support.

Whether it shows up in how we view ourselves, how we respond and react in relationships or the ways we behave in our communities, our stories impact us in ways that we are often unaware. From our families of origin to our experiences of trauma, we learn and adapt ways to keep ourselves safe. When we are unable to process our experiences and stories, we often find that what we have adapted for our safety becomes the source of our conflict and discomfort. When we have the courage to re-enter and re-learn our stories, we grow in our compassion and understanding of ourselves in a way that leads to healing and freedom.

My approach to therapy is based on Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). A core idea in ACT is that trying too hard to get rid of or control our emotions tends to backfire. Instead of trying to get rid of unwanted thoughts and feelings (e.g., anxiety & depression), I will help you learn to react differently to them so that you can keep your focus on living a meaningful and fulfilling life based on what’s important to you. We will work together to set meaningful goals to address your concerns–whether they relate to life transitions, depression, anxiety, body image, grief/loss, job or academic stress, or gender & sexuality.
