Great to meet you!

With over ten years of experience, I specialize in supporting neurodivergent adolescents and young adults, including those with ADHD, ASD (Level 1), and OCD. I understand that neurodivergence is not something to be “fixed,” but supported and understood.

Many of my clients come to therapy feeling misunderstood, overstimulated, burned out, or stuck in cycles of anxiety and intrusive thinking. Together, we work on executive functioning skills, emotional regulation, managing obsessive or intrusive thoughts, navigating social dynamics, and reducing shame. My goal is to help clients better understand their brains, build sustainable coping strategies, and feel more confident being authentically themselves.

My approach to therapy

I utilize a relational, strengths-based approach when collaborating with clients, while incorporating evidenced based practices and a touch of fun. I most commonly utilize CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), and also pull from many treatment approaches to tailor each session to the client's needs and unique personality.

What you can expect from me

You can expect to meet with an experienced therapist who is deeply passionate about coming alongside young people to facilitate positive change and growth. I strive to create a nonjudgemental space through compassionate and personalized therapy, equipping you with the tools to navigate various challenges and thrive.
