About My Clients

I have a special passion for supporting neurodivergent teens and adults navigating anxiety, burnout, masking, and self-esteem challenges. Together, we’ll build supports and skills that work with who you are, not against you, while creating a life that feels more manageable, authentic, and sustainable.

My Background and Approach

After nearly a decade in the ABA world, I’ve seen firsthand how deeply people can struggle when they feel misunderstood, pressured to mask parts of themselves, or disconnected from who they are. I view therapy as a collaborative process focused on self-understanding, growth, and creating a life that feels sustainable and authentic. I founded Self & Skill because I believe therapy should make space for the whole person while helping clients build practical skills, confidence, and support that actually fits their lives.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe meaningful mental health support begins with compassion, curiosity, and recognizing that people are not “problems” to be fixed. My goal is not to change who you are, but to help you better understand yourself, navigate challenges more effectively, and build a life that feels aligned with your values and needs.
