Therapy

If you haven't been to therapy before, you may feel nervous. I get it! It can be hard to start therapy, either for the first time or with a new therapist. I will do everything I can to ensure your emotional safety and help you feel comfortable.

I deeply believe the therapeutic relationship can be magical. I don't know about you, but I don't have many conversations with friends or family that are entirely about ME. Being heard, acknowledged, and deeply understood can be just the thing that helps us gain the clarity we need to take our next step, consciously and wisely.

Therapy helps us heal. Our work together can:
  • build your self-esteem
  • heal wounds from the past
  • increase your clarity for decision-making
  • expand your knowledge of yourself and others
  • grow your communication and self-advocacy skills

Therapy can be brief and solution-focused or long-term to address deeper issues. I can help you identify your goals and strengths and then provide guidance on how to get where you want to be.

I believe in the power of the brain and the power of knowledge. You have it! Sometimes pieces get lost or haven't yet been uncovered, but they are there and we can find them together.

My areas of expertise include:
ADHD, ASD, Giftedness, Neurodivergence
LGBTQ+ issues
School concerns
Emotional pain
Relationship, Family, and Interpersonal issues
Parenting
Life changes and tough decisions
Grief
Anxiety and Depression


If you do not see your concern on this list, please call or email me so that we can discuss whether I may be able to help you.
