My passion is working with the unique challenges faced by emerging adults dealing with ADHD, autism, anxiety, grief, and trauma, although I am open to working with older teens and adults of all ages. Specializing in emerging adults (16-30), I recognize the pivotal stage of life that this demographic represents, where young individuals are transitioning into adulthood and facing complex emotional and psychological changes. Through a client-centered approach, I foster a safe and non-judgmental environment where you can explore your emotions, develop coping strategies, and build resilience.

With a holistic approach, I combine elements of gestalt therapy, person-centered therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions to guide emerging adults towards personal growth, improved self-esteem, and enhanced overall well-being. With trust and empathy, I help you uncover your strengths, explore your potential, & cultivate resilience. I also can provide brainspotting to clients wanting more specialized trauma care. Brainspotting is a brain-body therapy adapted from EMDR to help clients process stored trauma and negative emotions, and is particularly effective for treating trauma, anxiety, mental blocks, overthinking, and negative emotions. Brainspotting can be quicker and more effective than talk therapy for some of these “stuck” issues because it bypasses the “thinking” cortex of your brain and is thought to directly access the deep parts of your brain involved in emotional regulation.

I hope to create a warm and inviting space for you to process what you’ve been through and navigate your daily life from a place of wholeness. I would be honored to be a part of your healing journey.

With our expertise, dedication, and trauma-informed approach, we’ll match you with an outstanding therapist who can meet you where you are in your journey.
