I believe in allowing your (client) clinical needs to determine the theoretical approach and interventions most suitable for your treatment. While my education and professional experiences provide me the competence to provide effective treatment, I don't profess to be an expert on you. You're the expert on your life journey.

You may be reading my profile because you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, or disconnected — from others, from your goals, or even from yourself. Maybe you’re juggling the weight of trauma, people-pleasing, identity shifts, or relationship challenges while still trying to show up for everyone else. You might find yourself avoiding tasks, second-guessing your worth, or putting your own care at the very bottom of the list. As a licensed marriage and family therapist with years of experience, I specialize in helping adults — especially women and neurodivergent individuals — heal from trauma, navigate anxiety, and reconnect with their voice and inner strength. I also bring my own lived experience exploring neurodivergence, which informs my deep respect for the unique ways neurodivergent people move through the world. Whether you're navigating sensory overload, task paralysis, masking, or the constant pressure to "do it right," I offer support that meets you where you are — without judgment or unrealistic expectations. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and rooted in evidence-based practices like Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness, and somatic work. I strive to create a space where you can safely explore what you’ve been carrying, explore what truly matters to you, and take steps toward a life that feels more grounded, more aligned, and more like your own. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you — it’s about honoring your full humanity and supporting your healing, one part at a time.
