Whether you are a teen or tween navigating the pressures of school or a parent managing the weight of your family’s needs, finding a moment of calm shouldn't feel like another chore on your list. I specialize in teaching practical, neurodiversity-affirming mindfulness techniques specifically designed to quiet the hum of anxiety, improve focus for ADHD brains, and lift the fog of depression. Drawing on 10 years of experience with school-based IEPs and 504 plans, I provide both the emotional support and advocacy tools your family needs to move from a state of constant survival to one of intentional, grounded connection.
Our initial session focuses on creating a comfortable, virtual space where we can begin building a genuine connection and discussing your primary goals for therapy. We will balance this rapport-building with a collaborative review of your history and current needs to ensure our future sessions are both person-centered and clinically focused.
I focus on supporting my clients with reflective listening, practical strategies to help you build the skills you need and guided mindfulness strategies.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness-based strategies are evidence-based techniques that help you intentionally focus your attention on the present moment while observing your thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations without judgment. By practicing these skills—such as mindful breathing or body scans—you can create a calm space between your experiences and your reactions, allowing you to respond to life's challenges with greater resilience and less emotional reactivity.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based approach that helps you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are deeply interconnected. By identifying and reframing unhelpful patterns in your thinking, we can work together to build practical coping skills that lead to lasting positive changes in your everyday life.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a structured, skills-based approach designed to help you balance two seemingly opposite ideas: accepting yourself as you are while also working to change unhelpful behaviors. By learning techniques in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness, you can gain practical tools to manage intense emotions and build a life that feels more stable and meaningful.
