Top Specialties
1
Relationships & Communication
If you are looking to improve your relationship with yourself, your partner, your family or people at work, we can help. Using modalities such as Relational Life Therapy, Nonviolent Communication, The Developmental Model (The Couples Institute) and much more, we can help you build the relationship you want. We specialize in neurodiverse partners, parenting and co-parenting as well. Learn tools to prevent conflict, heal ruptures or navigate grief and life transitions.

Neurodivergence
(ADHD, AuDHD, autism)
We see autism, ADHD and AuDHD as neurotypes, not disorders. We do, however, understand they can create disabilities as we navigate a world not made for us. Using a strengths-based, neuroaffirming approach, we learn skills and identify supports to improve relationships, reduce sensory overwhelm, prevent burnout, lessen rejection sensitivity, and more. We understand the impact of ableism, stigma and outdated research and adapt therapy to work for you.

Anxiety, Chronic Pain & Health Issues
Whether you are looking to reduce anxiety or chronic pain, improve your health or deal with chronic illnesses and other health conditions, you've come to the right place. Fortunately, treating anxiety and treating pain are quite similar in nature because our goal in therapy is to rewire your brain in order to send fewer pain or anxiety signals and learn how to tolerate discomfort and distress. I use a holistic approach for all clients, to make sure we are supporting your mind and body in every way.

Many of the adults and couples I work with are thoughtful, engaged, and striving to navigate life more effectively — yet still feel stuck in the same patterns.
