About

I work with clients ages 8 and up. In my core, I believe everyone deserves to feel joyful, connected, and safe while being their authentic self. So many things can make that difficult and keep us from deeply connecting with ourselves and others. If you, or your child, are struggling with the impact of stress, neurodivergence, anxiety, depression, trauma, or if you are part of the LGBTQ+ community, you are in the right place. I have worked with many ADHD, Autistic, and LGBTQ+ children, teens, and adults and this continues to be my passion. As a therapist, my main goal is to create a safe space for you to be authentically yourself and feel seen and heard. With younger folks, I incorporate play therapy techniques in addition to talk therapy and skills-based approaches. with adolescents and adults, I’m very adaptive to your needs whether it is play, art, body-based, skills, or verbal processing.
