MY APPROACH

Understanding your experience.

Working toward your goals.

My approach is individualized, collaborative, and neurodiversity-affirming. I begin by understanding your unique strengths, challenges, and experiences. Together, we can develop practical strategies for coping, communication, and everyday life.

Individual therapy also supports a broad range of concerns, including anxiety, mood concerns, OCD, trauma-related symptoms, and life transitions. The work is tailored to the person seeking care.
