About My Clients
Together we can work through your difficulties, allowing you to feel safe, supported, and heard with compassion. I work with teens and adults to provide solutions for anxiety; depression; neurodiversity affirming therapy focused on adult autism; teenage concerns; and borderline personality distress (with awareness of the frequent misdiagnosis of autistic adults) by using CBT, DBT, emotionally-focused, and family systems therapy approaches.
What I Specialize In
Life presents many challenges that may feel overwhelming. You are seeking solutions and my goal is to provide them. You may be looking for a strong connection to a therapist who truly cares about you and your happiness. That is what I offer. I address the complexities of anxiety to allow you to stop avoiding and start to live your life to the fullest. I help reduce depression to allow you to increase joy and self compassion. I work with autistic adults and those who may suspect they are autistic to further explore traits of autism in a neurodiversity affirming manner. I work with teenagers to reduce anxiety, increase communication where there is child and family conflict, improve low self-esteem, and support the emotional needs of high aptitude learners or gifted teens. Also, I compassionately support those with borderline personality distress and offer ways to increase distress tolerance and awareness. Plus, I am also aware of the frequent misdiagnosis of BPD for autistic persons.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that you are a unique individual and I encourage you to bring all of who you are into therapy. I provide therapy that is neurodivergent affirming; LGBTQIA+, non-binary, and transgender affirming; anti-racist; and aware of intersecting forms of discrimination. I also have a great appreciation for geek culture so bring out your focused interests and info dump all you like :-D. I believe that together we can promote healthy patterns, increase your sense of accomplishment, and explore a new way to live that is both mindful of the present and hopeful for the future. "Inspiring Growth Together" is more than a motto for me. I hope to inspire positive mental health, the completion of achievable goals, and self-reflective growth through our work together.
