Our past shapes how we see ourselves and relate to others — often in ways we don't fully recognize. Psychodynamic therapy creates space to explore those patterns, make sense of them, and gradually shift what no longer serves you. I see the therapy relationship itself as a powerful tool for healing — a place to build safety, gain clarity, and rewrite the narratives that have been running quietly in the background.

Trauma has a way of staying with us — in our thoughts, our relationships, and our bodies. I work with clients to process past experiences at a pace that feels safe, using trauma-informed, somatic, and strengths-based approaches. Rather than reliving the past, we focus on making sense of it — building resilience, restoring a sense of safety, and reclaiming a life that feels like yours again.

Stress and trauma don't just live in the mind — they get stored in the body. Somatic therapy works with that directly, helping you tune into physical sensations, nervous system responses, and body-based patterns that talk therapy alone can't always reach. By integrating body awareness into our work together, we can access deeper layers of healing and build regulation skills that are grounded and lasting.

ADHD isn't a deficit — it's a different way of being in the world. I work with teens and adults to build genuine self-understanding, practical strategies, and confidence in their own brain. We'll tackle the real challenges — focus, emotional regulation, relationships, self-esteem — while helping you stop fighting how you're wired and start working with it.

Anxiety isn't just worry — it lives in the body too. Through a combination of mindfulness-based, trauma-informed, and somatic approaches, we'll work to understand what's driving your anxiety rather than just managing symptoms. Together we'll build practical regulation tools, shift unhelpful patterns, and help you move through the world with more ease and confidence.

By the time most of my autistic clients get to me, they're burned out—performing "fine" all day and crashing when they get home. I'm not here to fix you. What I can bring, partly from my years in occupational therapy, is real attention to the sensory and nervous-system side of things that talk therapy tends to skip. We figure out where masking costs you the most, and where it's safe to set it down.

A lot of the adults I see got decent grades or held down jobs, so nobody ever thought ADHD—they just knew everything felt harder than it seemed to be for everyone else. You might be sharp in a crisis and completely stuck on the email that's been open for three days. We start by getting clear on how your attention and energy actually work, then build routines around that instead of around some textbook version. And we make room for the self-esteem hit that comes from years of being told to

For a lot of people, anxiety shows up in the body before the thoughts even catch up—you're keyed up and not sure why yet. I pay attention to that physical layer, because reasoning with worry rarely settles a nervous system that's already running hot. We work on catching the early signals and having something to actually do with them, and on what your anxiety has been trying to protect you from in the first place.
