Hello and welcome! I help ages 8+ move from overwhelm to confidence through compassionate, evidence-based care. My clinical specialties include ADHD, autism, anxiety, OCD, grief, trauma, PTSD, executive functioning challenges, emotional regulation difficulties, burnout, parenting support, family dynamics, perinatal mental health, and life transitions. I am especially passionate about supporting individuals who have spent years masking their struggles, feeling misunderstood, or searching for answers that finally make sense of their experiences.

I have training in autism, early childhood development, EMDR, ACT, CBT, DBT, and neurodiversity-affirming care, I blend research-based interventions with practical strategies tailored to each client's unique needs. I am neurodivergent myself, have struggled with anxiety and OCD in the past, have a few neurodivergent children. I know firsthand how brave it is to ask for help. My Christian faith provides the foundation for my life and work. I welcome clients from all backgrounds, beliefs, and walks of life. For those who desire it, I am happy to integrate faith into the counseling process and to start living the life God has called you to live; for others, therapy can remain entirely clinical and focused on their individual goals. 

Above all, I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you feel respected, encouraged, and empowered.

Ready to Take the Next Step? You don't have to keep carrying everything on your own. Healing begins with a single step. Let's take it together. Whether you're navigating anxiety, ADHD, autism, trauma, burnout, life transitions, or simply trying to better understand yourself, therapy can provide a space to pause, heal, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence. Together, we'll work to identify what's getting in the way, build on your strengths, and develop practical strategies that support your goals and the unique way you're wired. You deserve support that helps you feel understood, empowered, and hopeful about the future.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." – Jeremiah 29:11
