As a Neuro-Divergent therapist, my goal is by building trust and providing guidance and empathy, we will work together to conquer, defeat, and understand the challenges that are preventing your ability to live the life you deserve. I hold over 10 years of experience helping individuals manage their ADHD symptoms, anxiety, mood disorders, family and relationship conflicts, depression, processing their trauma, and co-dependency.

My counseling philosophy seeks to find the root of issues, rather than only focusing on managing surface-level symptoms. I incorporate positive psychology, Attachment theory, Family Systems, and Jungian analysis- including a focus on Personality Types, as identified by the Myers-Briggs (MBTI). I believe change occurs in therapy when the client is able to identify the things that are holding them back or distracting them from finding fulfillment in developing their true self. My work as a therapist is to partner with you on your journey toward wholeness as a safe, consistent, trustworthy listener and helper.

It can feel overwhelming trying to navigate our day to day lives while also dealing with stress and trauma. Therapy can provide a safe and supportive space to work through whatever difficulties and challenges we find present in our lives. As we begin to release the weight and pain we have been carrying with us for so long, we open up to new ideas and possibilities. Ultimately we can move towards a life with more resilience and hope.

Relationships have the potential to be great sources of meaning and connection, and yet, sometimes they can be confusing and stressful. I work to support couples and individuals who are caught in cycles of high conflict in their relationships. Together we can name, process, and explore things that may keep you feeling stuck, like systemic barriers, abuse, traumatic experiences, relationship patterns, and self-limiting beliefs. I strive to provide a respectful space for curiosity and expression to help clients strengthen bonds and gain clarity around their relationship norms and expectations.

My practice provides a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients may discuss any personal challenges with the confidence that they are legitimate, heard, and respected. My work is a collaborative effort specific to each client to resolve many issues including but not limited to: anxiety, depression, family- of- origin problems, and a variety of interpersonal relationship issues (see "Specialities").
