How I Can Help You

As a mental health counselor specializing in neurodevelopmental differences, I provide targeted support across age groups. For children, I create playful environments using play therapy to develop self-regulation skills and process emotions safely. With teenagers, I balance respecting autonomy while providing structure to address teen anxiety, depression, and identity exploration. My approach helps teens build emotional resilience while navigating complex social challenges. For young adults, I offer guidance through transitions, supporting them with executive functioning challenges and creating sustainable coping strategies. Families are essential partners in this work. I provide parent coaching to enhance understanding of your child's needs and develop effective behavior management approaches. Through family therapy, we strengthen communication and create environments where everyone thrives.

Why I am a Good Fit for You

Choosing the right therapist is deeply personal. My clients often tell me they feel truly seen in our work together—something particularly valuable for neurodivergent youth who may have experienced misunderstanding elsewhere. With specialized training in childhood anxiety, trauma recovery, and neurodevelopmental differences, I bring both expertise and heartfelt compassion to our sessions. Parents appreciate my practical guidance for managing challenging behaviors, while children and teens respond to my authentic, gentle approach to building emotional regulation skills. My background as a behavioral specialist and crisis intervention counselor has shaped my ability to remain calm and present, even during difficult moments. The therapeutic relationship we build becomes the foundation for growth. Through CBT techniques, mindfulness practices, and strength-based approaches, we'll work together to transform struggles into stepping stones for development.
