“I am stronger than fear.”

I help people talk about hard things.

I provide person-centered Neurodivergent (ND) Affirming Therapy to tweens, teens, adults - I support clients in their work of identifying, accepting and respecting their differences.

Many of the folks I work with have lived through trauma - the "Big T" stuff and the death-by-a-thousand-paper-cuts stuff. I provide evidenced-based trauma and anxiety treatments adapted for neurodivergence — trauma exposure and integration modalities that work to evolve and transform long-expired ways of coping that maintain traumatic stress and work to rebuild loss of identity and sense of self harmed by trauma and its impacts. It takes a lot of support to confront fear and difficult memories. And that the way to get through hell is to walk right through it, gradually and with compassionate support. And that is exactly what I offer my clients - with an openhearted and nonjudgmental, direct yet caring, warm yet determined style.

While I specialize in treating anxiety and trauma-related disorders, I am also energized in supporting clients as they find and cultivate meaning, embrace neurodiversity and deepen relationships with the people, animals and nature they care about most.
