I believe we are all inherently capable of change, especially when we acknowledge where we're falling short. I help guide people to make positive life changes by examining thoughts and feelings, and setting realistic goals for self-improvement. Therapy is a safe space to process feelings you wouldn't otherwise process. I have done extensive work with adult mental health, and I enjoy an integration of various holistic approaches to therapy. I value and respect all walks of life and take a culturally-sensitive approach.

Everyone’s brain has its own rhythm, and sometimes that rhythm feels “sticky.” Thoughts get stuck, worries loop, focus drifts or emotions feel bigger than expected. I primarily work with children, teens and young adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, autism, executive functioning challenges and emotional regulation. I also support parents, clinicians and educators who want clarity on what’s going on and practical ways to help at home and school.
Please note that I am not accepting new long-term therapy clients at this time. ADHD and psychological evaluations are currently available April '26. ASD evaluations are booking into Sept. '26.

Something happened, maybe once or many times, and even though life has moved forward, your body hasn’t caught up. You might notice anxiety that won’t stop, emotional reactivity, relationship patterns that repeat, or coping skills like numbing, substance use, or overworking that once helped you survive but now feel exhausting. Trauma isn’t just what happened to you, it’s what your nervous system had to do to survive. Together, we'll help your mind and body process what’s been stuck so you can finally feel more grounded, present, and in control again.

Many people have lived through terrible events that continue to haunt them, such as sexual assaults, war, child abuse, suicide, violence, near-death experiences, and more. Now the nightmares won't stop, and the memories keep popping into your head. You're on edge, jumpy, and can't relax. You might feel guilty or ashamed about what happened or how you responded. You may isolate from others, lash out, use drugs or alcohol, or consider suicide to escape it all. You're likely exhausted by all the effort to push it away and keep moving forward. If this sounds like you, you might be suffering from PTSD.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
