About

I believe that we all harbor strength and resilience within, yet we sometimes need help recognizing and building these traits. In therapy, I meet you where you are and take time to honor individual needs while building skills. My goal is to motivate and empower clients to not only make positive changes in their lives, but to thrive. In addition to providing therapy, I have 16 years of experience as a school psychologist providing comprehensive psychoeducational assessments for various developmental, learning, and emotional needs including Autism, ADHD, and Specific Learning Disabilities. I currently work with teens and adults. I am most experienced in working with anxiety, depression, postpartum women, neurodivergent-affirming care, self-esteem, and parent training. I particularly enjoy working with teens, new moms, and neurodivergent young adults to assist them in learning to advocate for their needs and explore their individual strengths. I primarily utilize modalities such as CBT, mindfulness, ACT, strengths-based, and solution-focused therapy. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and peaceful life and to take the first steps towards making a change. I look forward to joining and supporting you on this journey of self-realization and discovery.
