Therapy is a safe, non-judgmental space for you to be witnessed, understood, and gently challenged to take action on what you truly value most. It's an opportunity for you to enhance your total well-being & deepen your engagement in life. I work best with individuals who are interested in understanding how they got stuck & who want to develop the skills & insights to move forward in ways which are meaningful to them. I utilize a holistic approach attuned to your needs & I truly listen.

You're a caregiver of an autistic child or teen and you're looking for strategies for yourself as well as someone who really "gets" your neurodivergent child. Maybe you need help with communication, toilet training, or managing behavior, perhaps your child is older and you want your child to develop self-advocacy skills, work on executive functioning, and learn coping skills so they can live their best life. Or, you have autism yourself and are looking for a therapist who values your strengths and interests and can help you with setting and achieving goals that are important to you.

Whether you're going through a difficult time at this moment or if you've been feeling this way for awhile, I can offer support and positive coping mechanisms for the stressors you're experiencing. I empower clients to have the capability to use self-compassion and combat damaging thinking and behavioral patterns using evidence-based therapeutic modalities. Every client is unique and I like to employ an individualized, emotionally-centered approach that implements humor, support, and warmth.

I also enjoy working with college-aged/young adults who are in the process of transitioning to the "real world," and helping them with the stressors of "adulting."
