About My Clients

Whether you’re a teen frozen by OCD or emetophobia, a parent navigating the neurodiversity and 2e spectrum, or a new mother battling relentless intrusive thoughts, I provide the active, evidence-based tools to help you move forward. I specialize in the "complex" stuff that standard talk therapy often misses. I don't just sit across from you and ask how you feel. Using ERP, CBT, DBT and a neurodiversity-affirming and trauma-informed lens, we build bravery muscles together.

My Background and Approach

In therapy, individualized care is better care. I offer a variety of services to address different kinds of therapeutic goals, with clinical expertise in both general wellness and specialized areas of focus. I believe therapy should recognize that each person’s neurotype shapes their identity, strengths, and challenges. Rather than attempting to “fix” differences, my approach affirms them – building skills while honoring individuality. When it comes time to ADHD, autism, AuDHD, learning differences, 2e learners, executive functioning challenges, and other neurodivergent braintypes, I offer thoughtful, strength-based care designed to meet you where you are. I have expertise in anxiety, OCD, phobias (including emetophobia) and related conditions. I received training in CBT, ACT, and ERP from the Anxiety and OCD Treatment Center of Princeton through a year long field education practicum, 2020-2021.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

With lived experience in the Trouble Teen Industry (TTI), I understand the courage it takes to reclaim agency and heal. I’ve learned lot about perseverance through challenges, despite naysayers, and the courage to pursue one’s own definition of happiness. I actualized my dream to perform as a professional ballet dancer. This is the level of determination I bring to my clients. Earlier experiences as a camp counselor showed me how deeply young people flourish when they feel understood and supported. That spirit of warmth, creativity, and encouragement continues to guide my work. I know that good therapy isn’t just about practitioner adherence to evidence-based practices; it’s also about a genuine human connection grounded in empathy, innovative and collaborative problem solving, and a belief in your limitless potential. Out of the office, I engage in community initiatives within TTI survivor groups, facilitate support groups in my community, and volunteer with my trained therapy dog.
