Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in neurodivergent teens and adults navigating identity, masking, perfectionism, burnout, self-esteem, and relationships. I also work with couples and families who are navigating communication challenges, conflict, and the ways neurodivergence can impact relationships. Many of my clients have spent years feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves. My approach is warm, collaborative, and relational, drawing from psychodynamic, attachment-based, and family-systems perspectives. Together, we’ll explore the experiences and patterns that have shaped you, develop a deeper understanding of your needs, and build greater connection with yourself and others.

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy is most effective when you feel safe enough to be honest, curious, and fully yourself. My approach is warm, collaborative, and relational—I actively engage with you by asking questions, offering insight, and exploring patterns that may be impacting your life and relationships. Drawing from somatic, psychodynamic, and attachment-based approaches, we’ll explore how your experiences, relationships, emotions, and nervous system shape the way you understand yourself and connect with others. For neurodivergent clients, therapy can be a space to explore identity, masking, burnout, communication, and unmet needs without judgment. I also work with couples and families to better understand one another, navigate differences, and strengthen communication and connection. My goal is to help you develop greater self-awareness, honor your needs, and create relationships and a life that feel authentic to you.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we’ll spend time getting to know you, what brings you to therapy, and what you hope to gain from our work together. I’ll ask questions about your current experiences, relationships, and what has shaped you, while making space for you to share what feels most important. You don’t need to have everything figured out or know exactly where to begin. We’ll work collaboratively to identify where you’d like support and begin creating a plan that feels meaningful and manageable for you.
