Everyone deserves to experience joy & fulfillment in life & relationships, including you! At the foundation of my approach is a strong connection between two people that is based on mutual safety, trust, & genuine care. Within this relationship, I am my authentic self by bringing my warmth, dedication, & quirky personality that often puts folks at ease & enables them to more compassionately understand their true selves, strengths & imperfections in all. Through this process of self-exploration, people I work with learn to more honestly attend to & express their emotions, which leads to greater self-acceptance & consequently freedom from self-doubt & low self-esteem. Recognizing that you are the expert of your own experiences & what works best for you, we will collaborate to identify solutions that are tailored to resolve your emotional wounds & any unhelpful patterns. You may not always want to talk, so I will utilize creative mediums (art, music, & play) to help you express your inner experiences. I am adept at working with children, teens, & adults, especially those with depression, anxiety, trauma and impulse control disorders. I am committed to providing LGBTQIA and neurodiverse affirmative individual and family therapy. I also conduct neuropsychological assessment, including diagnostic testing for autism, learning disabilities, & ADHD.
