Great to meet you!

I’m an eclectic therapist who tailors my approach to your unique needs. My style is direct with a touch of humor, so expect a mix of real talk and laughter as we work through challenges. I’m always curious and ask lots of questions to help you uncover deeper insights. With a background in school social work and training in EMDR and DBT, I provide practical tools and support to help you navigate life’s ups and downs with a healthy dose of humor and honesty.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic style is affirming and person-centered, creating a supportive space where you feel understood and valued. Rooted in a psychodynamic approach, I help you explore past experiences to uncover patterns and build deeper self-awareness. I specialize in working with neurodiverse individuals, recognizing how unique experiences shape coping strategies. Together, we’ll address trauma and symptoms of neurodiversity and develop personalized tools to empower your healing and growth.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to leave sessions feeling heard, empowered, and equipped with practical coping skills. My goal is to help you gain self-awareness, build resilience, and develop tools to manage challenges, whether you're navigating trauma, anxiety, or neurodiverse experiences. I create a safe, affirming environment where you can explore your thoughts and emotions, uncover patterns, and work toward lasting growth and healing.
