I specialize in life transitions, such as moving from high school to college, entering the workforce, changing careers, or adjusting to an empty nest. I also specialize in working with neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD, OCD, autism, and AuDHD. I serve children, young adults, families, and seniors. If you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure about the next step, you are not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out alone either. With lived experience and a toolbox of resources, I’ll walk alongside you to find clarity, build confidence, and create a path forward that works for you.

Therapy and counseling move at the speed of trust. I believe this phrase captures the core of the therapeutic relationship: meeting clients where they are and moving at their pace. I will listen non-judgmentally and compassionately to what is said and not said by my clients. I provide a safe and welcoming space that fosters trust, where clients feel accepted, heard, understood, and respected. In this collaborative and supportive environment, we can work together to achieve your goals while processing emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and experiences.

As a young person, I was diagnosed with ADHD, learning disabilities, and other challenges. However, these labels became less significant when I connected with someone who truly listened and cared, leading to meaningful improvements. I believe we all have the capacity to overcome life's obstacles and grow through the therapeutic process. My goal is to provide personalized services, guiding you in discovering your own answers and direction in life.

All of our journeys are unique. It is important that each individual finds a path to wellness that is comfortable for them. At times, life brings challenges and roadblocks that require us to seek outside supports. I strive to provide a safe and caring, judgement free environment for individuals to explore and unpack life's difficulties. I provide effective care and give individuals the respect they deserve.

I love helping individuals navigate relational dynamics, process difficult emotions, foster growth in communication, strengthen boundary setting skills, and grow in self-awareness across various spheres of life (romantic partners, family members, friends, or coworkers). I also enjoy helping people grow in self compassion and validation so they can access kindness and patience toward themselves on the healing journey. My experience is primarily with young adults.

I help couples heal and deepen their relationships. Lots of of things can cause conflict and leave us feeling helpless to stop it. Issues like addiction, infidelity, parenting disagreements, money, and past trauma can cause hurt and push people apart. Our relationships are supposed to be refuges of safety and security; we expect to be able to count on one another. When we get stuck and can't connect with our partners, it threatens us to our very core. We feel trapped, hurt, scared, angry, and confused. The more we fight, the further we get from where we want to be. I want you to know it's not over yet.

Are you feeling stuck as a result of past trauma? Are your relationships, career and/or self-esteem negatively impacted by your trauma history? Trauma isn't always the "big T" trauma we think of when we hear the word "trauma". It can be caused by any ongoing situation that causes distress, fear, and a sense of helplessness. This can happen in your family of origin, a relationship or even a workplace setting. The good news is that the rest of the story is unwritten. You can heal. Processing trauma with a skilled, supportive clinician can help you transform anxiety, fear and shame into connection, wellness and purpose.

I remember many years ago, while in graduate school, a professor stating that the client may not remember the therapist's words but will remember the connection or alliance that was forged. This statement speaks to the fact that fundamentally it is the working relationship which drives change. Therefore, it is extremely important that you find a therapist who strives to "get you."

Life transitions are the internal journeys we embark upon as we navigate significant changes in our lives. Transitions such as marriage, the birth of a child, or retirement can be positive but are also challenging as we mentally and emotionally adjust to these new circumstances. It's about the psychological shifts and emotional evolution that occur within us as we adapt to our new realities. I would love to be a part of your journey and help you to process the unique challenges and opportunities they present.
