Anxiety can present in a lot of different ways and it can be debilitating. I want to help clients manage their symptoms and feel more empowered and in control of their lives. I have worked with health anxiety, generalized anxiety and social anxiety to name a few.

My specialty is working with late-recognized Autism. I enjoy helping people rediscover themselves and find the life and self accommodations they need to live more comfortably. It has also been my experience working with this population that most Autistic people experience trauma in their lives, existing in a world that wasn’t designed for them. We also explore and work to heal those wounds.

ADHD impacts every corner of a person’s life, from how they see time to how they operate in relationships. I don’t just give “tips and hacks”, I work with the person to better understand themselves, their brain, their strengths, and how we can work with the special brain you have to live more comfortably.

With an eclectic approach, I take the best parts of several modalities so that I can tailor therapy to the individual client. I draw from CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Feminist Therapy, Gestalt, and Person-Centered Therapy.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is similar to EMDR in that it uses eye movements in processing trauma or difficult emotions. It is a very helpful and powerful tool to use with talk therapy or on its own. It can help detach the physical sensations and/or flashbacks common with PTSD from the traumatic event or memory.
