Lately, life feels heavier - overwhelming, stressful, and isolating. You’d like to hit the pause button, but you can’t seem to reach it. You want to feel more emotionally regulated, have a better understanding of yourself and others, and feel a sense of ease in your relationships. In our work together, we’ll explore your experience and context so you can feel more grounded, connected, and supported in your daily life. Whether you’re navigating ADHD, Autism, grief, trauma, relationship or family issues – or maybe even all of the above – this is your invitation to take a breath and start your healing journey.
I specialize in working with neurodivergent teens, adults, couples, and families by getting to know your unique strengths and ways of navigating the world. My trauma-informed approach integrates attachment theory with mindfulness, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems to increase clarity, improve connection, and reduce overwhelm.
You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. This can be a space to slow down, feel supported, and make sense of what has felt heavy for a long time. If you’re ready for steadier ground, deeper understanding, and compassionate guidance, I would be honored to support you.
