While my experience is vast, my practice focuses on adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I offer a strictly affirming space for LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent individuals. Couples can bring themselves to find their best next steps. Families facing challenges with transitions and communication will have a space to grow. From helping youth navigate identity and relationships to facilitating complex decisions and boundaries, I work with you to build resilience and self-confidence.

I have experience helping people with mood disorders and dysregulation, personality disorders, Autism, ADHD, panic attacks, academic issues (from middle school and beyond), relationships struggles throughout the lifespan, women's health, immigration and expat challenges, co-parenting skills, identity exploration, being a minority trying to navigate the world, loneliness, marriage hardships, transitions, gender disparities, and family trauma.
