As an ADHD, Autism, Chronic Illness, and Complex Trauma specialist, I understand how navigating life can be exhausting and confusing. At times, it can be overwhelming and debilitating, leaving you to feel numb, isolated, and misunderstood. This is where I can help! You are deserving of relief from anxiety, grief, and pain. You are worthy of inspiration. With me, your thoughts and emotions are welcomed without judgement. Together, we can work collaboratively to meet your needs, understand perceptions, cultivate your strengths, improve relationships and self-esteem, and achieve personal growth.
My priority in working with individuals and couples is to create a safe space for personal expression. Within sessions, I integrate psychoeducation, somatic work, art-making, journaling prompts, and additional resources to best support your unique needs and goals. I can connect you with the tools you need to feel empowered in your unique healing journey.
My desire to help others is directly motivated by my lived experience with Autism and Chronic Illness (T1D and Celiac). With this, I understand what it feels like to be forced to adapt. I've experienced how draining it can be to put on a mask. There is a way out of burnout and shame. Contact me today and see if we may be a good fit!

Art making engages the mind, body, and spirit. This limits the need for confidently articulating trauma by providing an additional mode for expressing, understanding, and relating to personal insights and experiences.
