Hello! I'm glad you're here. I believe every person deserves to live a life that feels secure and personally fulfilling. I specialize in working with neurodivergent women, nonbinary, and trans individuals aged 18 and older.
As a person-centered therapist, I enjoy working collaboratively with the client to create a plan for sustainable, positive changes that increase resiliency and improve their quality of life. I operate from a neurodivergent-affirming, trauma-informed lens and integrate various modalities—such as Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, ACT, EFT tapping, somatic/nervous system work, and Motivational Interviewing—to cultivate changes that align with your own vision for growth and healing. All therapeutic modalities are adapted to support neurodivergent individuals, ensuring we work together in alignment with their unique neurotype. Together we can explore the barriers that may be preventing you from being fully present and finding peace.
In the past, I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults in outpatient and inpatient settings, as well as with youth in foster care and students/families in school settings. Because of my experience in special education and school counseling, I am passionate about supporting neurodivergent individuals, especially women diagnosed later in life who are experiencing burnout and/or navigating major life transitions and changes. In school settings, it's common for a parent to recognize their own neurodivergence only after their children are identified and diagnosed. This can be overwhelming, and I believe the best way to support our future generations is to support the adults raising them!
Other specialty areas I enjoy working with include: ADHD/AuDHD/ASD in women, LGBTQIA+ issues, PTSD, Life transitions, and social/relational problems.
