My style is interactive and humanistic meaning that I will listen, talk, offer opinions and sometimes give advice.
I specialize in treating survivors of narcissistic abuse, relationship issues, anxiety and depression. I am also very interested in what it means and how to become, a fully functioning human being, emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually. In this world that has been accelerating at a pace beyond our expectations and sometimes our ability to cope,how do we find peace, happiness and fulfillment, or at least the absence of anxiety and depression? Locked within our own personal stories lie the answer to these questions. Whatever "pathology" you present with can be turned into a "path" toward healing.

Life feels harder than it should be. You know what you 'should' do to fix things, but something just doesn’t seem to click. And you’ve worked hard at this whole growth and healing thing. Why does it all seem so impossible? Sometimes, the answer lies not in fixing, but in being truly seen and accepted as we are. Being authentic with someone who is safe and accepting can be a powerful experience. It allows you to reveal yourself—nervous, angry, anxious, or hopeless—and still be seen as a whole person, deserving of existence just as you are. In this space, we start to truly untangle and understand ourselves.

I believe children and teens can learn, grow, and thrive when they have coping skills, feel empowered, and practice self-care. My goal is to encourage youth to learn who they are and how to advocate for their unique needs. I specialize in working with neurodiverse, gifted and twice-exceptional (2e) youth and their families. I encourage youth to use their strengths and interests in order to grow, heal, and cope. Building self-awareness, such as understanding their own sensory processing and asynchronous development, is an important part of my work with youth.
