I will work with you to create positive changes in your life, resolve conflicts, and towards the goals you desire. It is important to understand who you are a person, not just an assigned label. I use a trauma informed approach to therapy which combines client focused therapy, psychodynamic applications, play therapy, and EMDR. I also have a background in DIR (Developmental Individual difference Relationship based model) and Level 2 certification in PDA

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first session will be about getting to know each other, it will be low risk and lead by you.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Parenting neurodiverse children has shaped me both personally and professionally, deepening the empathy, understanding, patience, and creativity I bring to the therapy space. Outside of work, I love to travel, explore new places, go to concerts, and spend quiet moments reading with a warm cup of coffee or tea in hand. These simple joys help me stay grounded and present, which in turn enriches my work with clients.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

As a counselor, I work with individuals coping with various concerns related to neurodiversity, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, PTSD/ complex trauma, caregiver concerns, relationship issues, parenting struggles, communication skills, and general life dissatisfaction. I work with parents and caregivers to develop parenting skills and plans for children that may be neurodiverse or may require additional support. My approach is collaborative, empowering, and centered on respect for your unique experiences and strengths. My work is rooted in a trauma-informed, mind–body approach that honors your nervous system, personal history, and inner strengths. I integrate Polyvagal Theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), play therapy principles, client-centered therapy, and EMDR to create a treatment experience tailored to your needs. I have a background in the Developmental, Individual-difference, Relationship-based (DIR) model, which deepens my understanding of emotional development and supports my work with neurodiverse clients of all ages. I am also Level 2 Certified in Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) through PDA North America, equipping me with specialized insights and strategies for individuals who resonate with PDA profiles.
