About My Clients
I specialize in providing a laid-back and authentic therapeutic space where children, adolescents, and adults feel truly accepted and never judged. A significant portion of my practice is dedicated to supporting the neurodivergent community, with over half of my clients identifying as Autistic or ADHD. I operate from the core belief that you do not need to be "fixed"; instead, you deserve a nurturing environment that honors who you are at your core.
My Background and Approach
My background is rooted in a deep respect for individual autonomy, beginning with a certificate in Montessori studies that solidified my commitment to child-led pedagogy. I spent years in school settings as an intervention specialist, where I honed a specialized ability to provide a calming, grounded presence for children in moments of crisis. Since transitioning into clinical practice as a therapist, I have integrated these professional foundations with my lived experience as a parent to a neurodivergent child. My approach is a blend of clinical expertise and authentic empathy, shaped by a thorough understanding of child development and the complexities of the educational system. I view therapy through a strengths-based lens, prioritizing child-centered practices that honor each person's unique internal world.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
At the heart of my practice is the unwavering belief that there is no such thing as a "bad" child or a "bad" person. I believe that our truest, most authentic selves are always present within us, waiting for the right environment to emerge. You—and your child—are not broken, and you do not need to be "fixed." We are all inherently whole exactly as we are. My role is not to change who you are, but to provide the nurturing support and specialized tools necessary for you to care for yourself and thrive. By moving away from pathologizing behavior and instead focusing on honoring each person's unique strengths, I create a space where self-discovery and healing happen naturally. I am here to help you peel back the layers of life's challenges to reconnect with the perfect, capable person that has been there all along.
