I specialize in providing a safe and supportive space for neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ teens and adults with deep-seated issues that may have been buried over the years. Whether you're a teenager grappling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, or navigating LGBTQ+ concerns, or an older adult carrying the weight of past struggles, I'm here to help you understand and overcome these obstacles.
For teens, I address family conflicts, neurodivergent needs, and identity. With adults, I unpack long-standing issues with compassion. For families, I facilitate dialogue, resolve conflicts, and strengthen bonds through therapy. Let's navigate challenges together for a healthier, more fulfilling life.
Above all, my goal is to create a therapeutic environment where you feel safe, heard, and empowered. I strive to make therapy engaging and enjoyable, while also equipping you with the tools and insights needed to thrive. Together, let's embark on a journey towards healing and personal growth. You can also get to know me on Instagram theaterkidtherapist!
