Great to meet you!

I specialize in anxiety, depression, and autism — and this work is deeply personal to me. As a neurodivergent person and a mom of five neurodivergent kids, I bring lived experience to every session. I know what it's like to feel alone, unheard, and misunderstood, and I want my clients to know they've found a space where that changes. Outside of the therapy room, you'll find me traveling or buried in a good book — two things that remind me how expansive and rich life can be.

My approach to therapy

I show up as real, nonjudgmental, and compassionate — because that's what I would have wanted when I was struggling. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, or the unique experience of being neurodivergent in a world that wasn't built for you, I meet you exactly where you are. My own neurodivergence isn't incidental to my work — it's my greatest clinical strength.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is about you feeling heard — maybe for the first time in a long time. We'll talk about what's brought you here, what you've been carrying, and where you want to go. There's no pressure to have everything figured out. My job is to make sure you leave that first conversation feeling a little less alone and a lot more hopeful.
