about me
Before becoming a therapist, I studied nutrition and psychology—fields that reflect my interest in the mind-body connection and how we make sense of ourselves through our environment, relationships, emotions, and experiences. I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work and bring both lived experience and clinical training to this work.
Like many of my clients, I know what it’s like to move through self-doubt, internal pressure, or the feeling of outgrowing old roles. My own process of untangling inherited narratives and building a more authentic life continues to shape how I show up in the therapy room—grounded, curious, and committed to creating space that feels real and human.
Over time, I’ve come to believe that healing happens not only through insight, but through the experience of being seen and supported as your authentic self. When we are met with genuine presence and compassion, something shifts—we begin to feel less alone, more whole, and more able to move forward with clarity and self-trust.
My clinical work is grounded in a relational, humanistic, and neuroaffirming approach. I work with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, chronic overwhelm, burnout, and relationship distress—not as isolated symptoms to be “fixed,” but as adaptive responses to lived experience. I also support clients with ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence, helping them understand their unique neurotype and relate to themselves with greater clarity and self-compassion.
Clients often describe me as warm, genuine, and collaborative. I offer a space where you don’t need to perform or have it all figured out—where we can explore what’s happening beneath the surface and meet it with curiosity rather than judgment.
Outside of my clinical work, I value slowness, humor, and honest conversation. I'm drawn to spaces—both in life and in therapy—where people can drop the mask and feel met as they are.
Therapy with me isn’t about fixing what’s broken. It’s about reclaiming the parts of yourself that have been buried under coping strategies or survival mode—so you can move forward with more connection, agency, and ease.
my values
Authenticity
Healing starts with being real. Therapy is a space to be yourself, without pressure to conform. Here, you can express freely and be accepted without judgment.
Integrity & Honesty
I show up with transparency and respect. You can trust me to be honest and clear, and I encourage you to do the same, knowing you’ll be met with compassion.
Openness & Curiosity
I stay open to your experiences and approach our work with curiosity. Together, we’ll explore your world without fear of judgment, finding new insights along the way.
Connection & Relationship
Healing happens through connection. I focus on helping you build deeper, more meaningful relationships where you feel seen, understood, and supported.
Self-Trust & Agency
I help you reconnect with your inner wisdom and trust yourself. You deserve to move through life with confidence, knowing your choices matter.
Neurodivergent-Affirming Care
I believe in honoring your unique way of being. Differences in thinking and feeling are not disorders to be fixed, but natural variations in human experience.
Resistance & Liberation
Therapy is a space to challenge oppressive systems. I support you in rejecting harmful narratives and reclaiming your right to exist on your own terms.
my mission
My mission is to provide a space where people can show up as they are—without the pressure to perform, conform, or be “fixed.”
I believe that struggle is not a sign of failure or disorder but a natural response to a world that often demands too much and understands too little.
My approach is neurodivergent-affirming, trauma-informed, and rooted in deep respect for each person’s unique way of moving through the world.
Whether you’re navigating relationships, parenthood, identity, or the weight of simply existing, you don’t have to do it alone.
neurodivergent-affirming philosophy
Everyone is neurodiverse— meaning each of us has a unique way of functioning that shapes how we think, feel, and experience the world.
Neurodivergent-affirming care starts with the belief that neurodivergent individuals are not broken or disordered, but are navigating a world that wasn't designed to support the full range of human diversity.
Instead of viewing differences in brain functioning as something to be "fixed," this approach embraces neurodivergence as a natural and valuable part of the human experience.
The challenges that many neurodivergent people face are not inherent flaws, but a response to living in a society that often fails to accommodate diverse ways of being.
This philosophy shifts the focus from pathologizing neurodivergent traits to acceptance, self-determination, and supporting individuals in embracing their authentic selves, and living a life that makes accommodations for their needs.
Neurodivergent-affirming care also recognizes the societal stress, systemic oppression, and lived experience individuals and communities within these systems which can exacerbate symptoms often seen as “disordered” rather than a normal response to a stressful environment.
Rather than labeling these traits as disorders to be fixed, neurodivergent-affirming care sees them as valid, meaningful, and challenging ways of navigating the world that deserve support and understanding.
