Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Psychologist and Board-Certified Behavior Analyst, I am passionate about helping individuals and families navigate challenges and celebrate strengths associated with neurodevelopmental differences. My practice focuses on supporting individuals with autism, anxiety and ADHD through neurodiversity-affirming care. I believe in a comprehensive, individualized approach, recognizing each person's unique experiences and needs.

My approach to therapy

My approach integrates various evidence-based techniques, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, behavioral interventions, and mindfulness strategies. I focus not only on symptom reduction but also on enhancing overall well-being and helping you develop sustainable skills for long-term success.

What you can expect from me

For neurodivergent clients, we focus on understanding and embracing your unique way of experiencing the world while developing practical tools for success. You'll gain concrete strategies for managing challenges, improved self-advocacy skills, and effective coping tools for anxiety and stress. Together, we'll track progress through measurable goals that are meaningful to you.
