There's no sugarcoating it-life is tough. But in taking this first, courageous step in seeking help, I believe that you are too. Whether you're dealing with the loss of a loved one, a relationship, or job-or experiencing a difficult life transition- know that your situation does not define you, and that it's possible to not only stand up amidst the storms that rage around you...but to emerge even stronger than before. I know because I've been there, and I'm here to stand with you.

Do you feel like you're living in a world that wasn't made for you, constantly trying to bridge the gap between who you are and who the world expects you to be? Like no matter how hard you try, there’s something different about you that others just don’t seem to understand? You might find yourself overwhelmed by social situations, exhausted by sensory overload, or feeling like you have to hide your true self just to fit in. Maybe you’ve recently stumbled upon the possibility that Autism or ADHD could explain your lifelong struggles, or you’ve been diagnosed later in life, leaving you with a mix of relief and uncertainty.

Parents are often shamed for their children's behavior and adults are often defined and labeled by their current challenges or problems.
Whether I am working with a child or an adult, my primary goal is to help to create a safe space for them to identify, explore and manage the emotions and behaviors that are impeding their potential for living a healthier and happy life. I have extensive training and experience working with children and adults who have experienced trauma. Though often feeling depleted and unrecognized, I have seen, untapped, and helped to recover incredible strengths in my clients. Much of my work begins with identifying and supporting those strengths in an effort to overcome and heal from the issues that are creating challenges in their lives.
