Book with me now by clicking on my website! I am passionate about providing therapy and psychological assessment from a holistic point of view. I specialize in health psychology, trauma, autism, ADHD, chronic illness and working with individuals in the LGBTQ+ community. My lived experiences have driven my areas of specialty. Being queer, AuDHD, and having my own experiences with trauma and chronic illness, I have experienced firsthand downfalls of our healthcare system.

I utilize a highly collaborative approach to therapy and testing to understand the whole person in context.
Are you looking for a compassionate space to process life changes? Are you facing challenges in school, in social situations, or in handling your relationships? Life transitions can be challenging because they change our daily routines. Whether you're starting a new job, college, moving to a new place, ending a relationship, or adjusting to a new phase of life, these changes can make us feel anxious, afraid, or depressed as we get used to new situations. Coping with these transitions might mean building strength and rethinking who we are or what we want.

Many of us feel "stuck" with behaviors, thoughts and feelings that we cannot unravel. Sometimes we need help clarifying these issues to pave the way for being the best versions of ourselves.

My counseling philosophy is based on the empathic understanding of the individual's circumstances and challenges impacting their functioning in life.
