If you are feeling exhausted and hopeless about your situation, you are not alone. I will join with you to explore where you've gotten stuck and how you might move forward. My style is warm and caring, and I hope to create a space where you feel more and more at home week after week. I care deeply for my clients, and will truly come alongside you in your journey. I also have faith in the therapeutic process, and that you will uncover profound truths about yourself as we work together.
There is hope! Hope for freedom from constant conflict, anxiety, fear, and loneliness. I work with couples, adults and teens. I also am knowledgable about PDA (pathological demand avoidance), a subtype of Autism. I offer supportive counseling and strategizing in order to create a more peaceful environment for your neurodivergent family.
I invite you to contact me for a free phone-consultation. Together we will determine if I am the right fit for you. I am currently offering Telehealth exclusively.
