I am a seasoned therapist with over 20 years of experience. I offer Neurodiversity affirming and Trauma informed therapy for teens and adults. My approach is person centered, empowering, strengths based and relationship focused. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, burnout and compassion fatigue. I also have many years of experience with Autism and Neurodiversity and working with adults and children with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families, caregivers and providers.
I also specialize in support for caregivers of many kinds, such as family members and loved ones of those with addiction, mental illness, chronic or acute illness or other disability. I take great pride in the core values of social work and practice holistically, taking into account the person as a whole in environment.
I value supporting and teaching other social workers and promoting inclusive mental health support for everyone, especially those with disability and other vulnerable populations. I place great importance on the use self-care, mindfulness and creativity. I provide, group and family therapy as well as consultation, training and clinical supervision.
The first session is dedicated to creating a warm environment and safe space to begin to build a therapeutic connection, learn more about current challenges and relevant history and begin to discuss goals for movement forward together.
