Who am I?

I am a child and adolescent therapist passionate about supporting neurodivergent kids and teens as they navigate a world that isn’t always designed for the way their brilliant brains work. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and teens who experience challenges related to ADHD, Autism (lvl 1), AuDHD, Sensory Processing differences, anxiety, depression, and school-based struggles such as executive functioning, peer conflict, testing stress, and self-esteem. My therapy style is warm, playful, and deeply relational. I focus on creating a space where young people can bring their full selves—messy, magical, and everything in between—without fear of judgment. 

 

Previous Work Experience

My journey to becoming a therapist started in the classroom. I began my career as an elementary school teacher and quickly realized that what I loved most was helping kids understand their emotions and build resilience—not just their math facts. That led me to pursue a graduate program focused on the relational aspects of therapy, blending emotional development with interpersonal connection. After earning my degree, I worked as a school-based therapist, where I partnered closely with teachers and school staff to create trauma-informed classrooms and develop behavior support strategies. That experience deepened my passion for collaboration and gave me firsthand insight into the challenges neurodivergent students face in school environments.

 

Why I do what I do

I truly believe that empowering and encouraging our children now helps heal the world they’ll grow into. And to do that, they need to feel safe, seen, and supported from the start. Therapy gives kids a space where they can just be themselves—silly, serious, messy, or curious—without fear of judgment. It also gives parents the reassurance that they don’t have to figure it all out alone. My hope is to help children find their voice, build confidence, and feel understood, while supporting families in creating the kind of connection that lasts well beyond our sessions.

When I’m not in the therapy room, you can find me curled up with a good book, spending time in the mountains, cooking or baking something cozy, playing games with my husband, or hanging out with my two very opinionated cats.
