I believe therapy begins with connection. Consistency is important to me, and I show up each week ready to listen, engage, and support you. My approach is collaborative, drawing from Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), and Compassion-Focused techniques while integrating other methods as appropriate to your needs. I guide sessions to focus on what matters most to you, helping steer the conversation so there’s no pressure. I don’t tell you what to do; instead, we explore and reflect together, helping you find your own answers and work toward long-term goals. With me, you enter a judgment-free space where therapy adapts to your style, whether through talking, reflecting, or engaging in creative exercises.

​

I specialize in supporting neurodivergent individuals, people with disabilities and learning differences, as well as their caregivers and siblings. I also work with clients navigating anxiety, stress, behavioral challenges, identity and relationship concerns, school avoidance, depression, OCD, trauma, grief, and major life transitions.

​

While it’s important to work through challenges, I also emphasize recognizing strengths and progress. In every session, I help you notice these moments, reflect on your experiences, and gain insight that fosters resilience, confidence, and self-compassion.
