I want to help you reach your potential. Your life story is filled with possibilities. I am interested in who you are and who you want to be, lifelong dreams and creative ambitions, and the mental hurdles and emotional baggage that are holding you back. You may find yourself feeling stuck. You may feel depressed and anxious about your situation but have a deep yearning to do more with your life. You may not know where or how to start. As your therapist, I'm here to guide you through this difficult time. We will examine all the cards you were dealt with and find the best hands for you.

As a dedicated and compassionate therapist, my passion lies in understanding and supporting individuals with unique interests. Both my therapy work and past research work in my dissertation focus on helping to cultivate the elements of our lives we love and how to use those passions to bridge the distance between ourselves and communities where we can thrive. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, OCD, or something else - my goal is to make therapy an approachable space for you to thrive.

Therapy isn't just a space where we develop insight into how we got to where we are, but a space that we take to consider who we want to move forward into becoming. You make sense in context, and it's in that context that we'll work together to support you in overcoming barriers to becoming the version of yourself you strive to be.

Are you Autistic or ADHD? I support self-identified and professionally assessed neurodivergent teens and adults. My clients need help with executive functioning, anxiety, and letting go of shame and self-doubt. I am a neurodivergent-affirming psychologist and emphasize building a loving relationship with one's self. Many of my clients have dealt with a history of invalidation, a lack of proper support, or are seeking specialized help. Often I see neurodivergent folks who have seen previous providers that have been unable to help them find wellness.

Wether you struggle to restore perspective, calm and balance in your life, attempt to heal trauma, depression and anxiety, or seek to discover and pursue greater potential and purpose, I offer a safe, open, curious and non-judgemental place to do just that. Everything you think, feel, do and experience actually makes complete sense - we simply may need some time to understand and appreciate why it does. This growing awareness allows for better design of a life with purposeful future and relief from the past, offering real, actual choice rather than the apparent choice in repetitive, automatic and unconscious routines.

What makes someone change and what makes someone, no matter how hard they try, unable to? We arrive at a crossroads in life where we are suffering and no longer want to be a prisoner of circumstance. Our history and vices and pressure to perform for the well-being of others and business narrow our path, and we continue to participate in an endless cycle of destructive behavior. My clients want to give themselves the best chance to understand why we are the way we are and how to make better choices.

Do you sometimes feel like a tourist in your own life? Has your career reached a dead-end but you don't know how to make a change? Has your marriage or relationship grown stale or become a fight that never ends? Do thoughts of a better life whisper to you in the midst of depression, anxiety or deep fear? Conflict and getting stuck can be part of living, and sometimes our problems seem like they are updated versions of what plagued us as children and teenagers. What would your life feel and look like if these weren't there?

Making the decision to begin therapy can be difficult. Whether you’d like help making changes, dealing with life transitions, working through difficult relationships, addressing sexual issues, uncomfortable moods, ongoing trauma, or just trying to develop a sense of peace, balance and integration, psychotherapy can give you the opportunity to grow, guide you through difficult times, and ultimately move you towards a more satisfying and enriching life. A supportive environment where you have the freedom to be uncensored, true to yourself, and feel accepted and understood is the foundation of growth and change.
