We all deserve a space where we can be wholly and completely ourselves, and show up authentically without fear of judgment or misunderstanding. A place where we can find the courage to face the parts of ourselves that need compassion, care, and healing. And a space where we can celebrate the parts of ourselves that are already thriving. Therapy should be that space - honoring your strengths while addressing your areas of need. In my practice, I take an engaged, empathetic, warm approach with clients, creating a respectful and collaborative relationship so you can safely explore and heal the places where you are stuck.
I provide individual, couples, and family therapy, supporting youth and adults with anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-esteem issues, and relationship conflict. I am a neurodivergent-affirming therapist, working with neurodivergent adults, youth and their caregivers, offering the guidance and support needed to navigate their unique journeys.
I approach therapy with a strengths-based, relational focus, believing in the inherent resilience and potential of each person I work with. When we work together I will meet you where you’re at bringing insight, clinical training, lived experience, a little humor, and decades of experience in creating safe, trauma-informed space for growth and healing.
