Reaching out for therapy can be one of the hardest steps to take, and I believe finding the right therapist is just as important as deciding to begin. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself—without fear of judgment—and where we can work together to help you build the life you want.

Your brain isn't running the wrong OS -it just needs better scripts. I work with neurodivergent teens and adults on anxiety, burnout, and self-doubt using CBT, DBT, ACT, and IFS. No toxic positivity - just honest conversation and tools that actually fit how your brain works.

My passion for counseling stems from wanting to help each person learn to achieve their “Best Life”. I use a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach. I strongly believe that each person “Lives what they know” and sometimes may struggle to change without help. I want to help each person effect that change within themselves and in their lives.
