What it’s like to work with me
As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, I’m equipped to work with people from all backgrounds regarding many different areas of mental health.
I enjoy working with everyone who steps into my office, but I have found that I particularly enjoy working with people looking for help with anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, as well as couples looking to improve and repair their relationships.
Individual Therapy
In my work with individuals, I often integrate Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to support deeper healing and growth. Both approaches emphasize compassion, connection, and understanding the parts of ourselves that can sometimes feel overwhelming or at odds with one another. Through EFT, we slow down to notice the emotions and attachment needs that shape your experiences, while IFS helps us explore the many inner parts that carry protective roles, vulnerabilities, or unmet needs. For clients who are neurodivergent, these approaches can be especially meaningful, as they offer a way to understand not only how the world impacts you, but also how your inner world makes sense of those experiences. Together, we might explore parts that carry self-criticism from years of feeling “different,” or the protective strategies you’ve developed to navigate environments that weren’t designed with your brain in mind. By building compassion for these parts and learning to connect with your core Self, you can begin to experience more clarity, acceptance, and a stronger sense of inner alignment.
Couples Therapy
In my work with couples, I often draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which emphasizes the importance of secure emotional connection. Rather than focusing only on surface conflicts, EFT helps couples understand the deeper needs and emotions driving their interactions. Together, we slow down reactive cycles, explore patterns that keep partners feeling stuck, and create new ways of reaching for each other with openness and care. My goal is to support couples in building a safer, more trusting bond where both partners feel truly seen, valued, and connected.
Couples counseling can be an opportunity to slow down and really listen to one another in ways that everyday life doesn’t always allow. When neurodivergence is part of the relationship—whether ADHD, autism, or other ways of thinking and experiencing the world—it can bring both unique challenges and unique strengths. I support couples in learning to recognize how differences in communication, attention, or emotional expression may show up, and how these differences can be worked with rather than against.
Neurodivergence
Have you been diagnosed as neurodivergent? Or maybe you’ve always thought you were but never explored it. As a neurodivergent counselor, I know that living with ADHD or being neurodivergent often means navigating a world that isn’t always built with your strengths and challenges in mind. In my work with clients, I aim to create a space where difference is not only understood, but honored. Together, we can explore the unique ways your mind works, identify tools that support your growth, and uncover the meaning and purpose that matter most to you. I believe that counseling is not about “fixing” anyone, but about cultivating greater self-awareness, self-compassion, and connection.
I especially enjoy working with clients who are learning how to better understand their ADHD—whether that’s managing day-to-day challenges, or finding ways to harness creativity and energy. Many of my clients also come to therapy to untangle the shame, frustration, or self-doubt that can build up over years of trying to fit into systems that don’t always fit them. My role is to walk alongside you with empathy and curiosity, helping you find strategies that feel realistic and sustainable.
