Great to meet you!

I support adults, teens, veterans, neurodivergent clients, and caregivers ready to move from reacting to rebuilding. People come for anxiety, depression, trauma, executive‐function challenges, parenting overwhelm, and life transitions, including military reintegration. I provide trauma‐informed, neurodiversity‐affirming, measurement‐based care (CBT, DBT‐informed skills, ACT, executive‐function coaching). I offer telehealth sessions, skills coaching, accommodations, and measurable plans to translate insight into routines and improved functioning.

My approach to therapy

I help you move from feeling stuck or overwhelmed to feeling more steady, capable, and in charge of your life. Together we’ll clarify your goals, reduce distressing symptoms, and build practical habits that fit your daily life — not a one-size-fits-all plan. I blend short-term skills work with deeper processing as needed so you get relief and lasting change. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where we openly explore your concerns while being straightforward about goals and progress using trauma-informed, evidence-based techniques (like CBT and trauma-focused strategies).

What you can expect from me

What to expect with me:

Person‐centered and measurement‐based: we set clear goals, track progress, and adjust quickly.

Skills + practice: CBT, DBT-informed strategies, ACT (values-based work), and executive-function coaching turned into real-life routines.

-Flexible telehealth sessions when you need them.

Neurodiversity‐affirming and culturally responsive: I'll adapt pace, sensory input, and communication to what works for you.

If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for change, I'm here to listen and help you build practical, compassionate steps forward. Reach out for a brief consult to see if we're a good fit — I offer flexible scheduling through telehealth using a strengths‐based, nonjudgmental approach. Book a session today.
