My background in education and organizational leadership gives me a systems-level lens on individual healing. I’m practical, reflective, and always asking how we can make room for more agency, nuance, and self-trust — both in therapy and in life. My approach is deeply relational, rooted in evidence-based trauma work like EMDR, while also honoring the layered complexity of desire, memory, and emotion. I pay close attention to language, the stories we carry, and the moments when something true slips through the cracks.

I primarily work with adults navigating neurodivergence (especially ADHD and AuDHD), trauma, identity shifts, and relational stuckness. Many of my clients look successful on the outside but quietly overwhelmed, lonely, or disconnected from their own needs. I specialize in helping people soften long-held defenses without shame or force — especially those shaped by attachment wounds, cultural expectations, or survival strategies that no longer serve.

I hold a BA in English, an MA in Creative Writing, and an M.Ed. in Counseling and Development. I spent almost two decades teaching, publishing, and leading in public education before transitioning into mental health — driven by the familiar neurodivergent question: What else could this life hold? That question still guides and grounds me today.

In addition to “typical” psychotherapy services, I provide EMDR intensives, supervise graduate student counseling interns, and consult with therapists and organizations looking to integrate liberatory values into their clinical and operational practices. I offer robust programs and resources that support overwhelmed parents, emerging therapists — especially second-career clinicians — in developing their voice, vision, and capacity for sustainable care. In true neurodivergent fashion, my interests are varied, but the people I work with—clients and professionals alike—want to feel more whole without losing the parts of themselves that got them through. They’ve often moved through systems that felt misaligned and are drawn to work that’s emotionally honest, intellectually grounded, and open to rethinking what’s always been assumed.
