I work with children, teens, and adults experiencing anxiety, worry, stress, and difficulty managing overwhelming emotions. I help clients better understand their emotional and physical responses, build coping skills, and develop more confidence in navigating everyday challenges and relationships.

I have worked as an ABA tech and have experience supporting autistic children, teens, and families with emotional regulation, social skills, communication, flexibility, and navigating everyday challenges. My approach is individualized and strengths-based, with attention to each client’s unique needs, interests, and ways of experiencing the world.

I work with children, teens, and adults navigating ADHD-related challenges such as emotional regulation, impulsivity, organization, transitions, and executive functioning. I focus on practical strategies that build self-awareness, coping skills, confidence, and flexibility while recognizing each client’s individual strengths.

I use parent coaching to help caregivers better understand their child’s needs, behavior, and emotions. We can look at what may be happening underneath a behavior and work on practical ways to support emotional regulation, communication, routines, boundaries, and transitions at home. The goal is to give parents strategies they can actually use in everyday life.

Our early relationships can shape how we understand ourselves, connect with others, and respond when relationships feel difficult or uncertain. I use an attachment-focused perspective to explore these patterns without judgment and help make sense of where they come from. Understanding these patterns can create more room to respond differently and build healthier relationships.

I believe therapy works best when you can be yourself without feeling judged or pressured to have everything figured out. I want to understand your experience from your perspective and work alongside you rather than tell you what you should do. Our sessions are collaborative, and we can adjust the work based on what feels helpful and relevant to you.
