Therapy Services

Sometimes understanding why you feel or respond a certain way doesn't make it any easier to change.

Therapy can help you explore the patterns you've developed, understand how they've helped you get through difficult experiences, and begin finding different ways of responding that feel more supportive now.

Therapy for the way you actually experience the world.

I primarily work with adults and teens, and occasionally with children when my approach is a good fit for their needs.

Many of the people I work with have spent years masking, overthinking, pushing through overwhelm, or trying to meet expectations that don't quite fit.

Therapy offers a place to understand those experiences, explore the patterns you've developed, and find ways of moving through life that feel more manageable and more like you.

When the way you've always coped stops working

I'm particularly interested in the intersection of neurodivergence and women's hormonal transitions.

For some women, perimenopause and menopause can bring changes in attention, emotional regulation, energy, and the ability to manage everyday demands. Strategies that worked for years may suddenly feel less effective.

That can be confusing, especially if you've spent much of your life finding ways to push through or compensate.

Therapy can offer space to understand what's changing, reconsider what you need, and find ways of supporting yourself that fit this stage of life.

How I Work

Our work together will depend on what brings you to therapy, what you're hoping to understand or change, and what feels useful along the way.

Sometimes that means exploring thoughts, emotions, and patterns through conversation. Other times, we may pay closer attention to what's happening in your body or work with experiences that continue to affect you in the present.

I draw from different therapeutic approaches rather than using the same method with everyone.

My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming, culturally responsive, and welcoming of different identities, backgrounds, and ways of experiencing the world.

Somatic Psychotherapy

We pay attention to the connection between your body, emotions, and experiences. Sometimes what we're carrying isn't something we can fully understand through talking alone.

EMDR Therapy

EMDR can help you process distressing experiences that continue to affect how you feel or respond in the present. We work at a pace that takes your needs and sense of safety into account.

Neurodivergent-Affirming Therapy

We explore things like masking, sensory needs, burnout, and identity without assuming that the way your mind works is something that needs to be corrected.

Other Approaches I Draw From

Depending on your needs, our work may also draw on parts work (IFS-informed), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral approaches, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation techniques.

I'm also certified in the Women-Centered ADHD Treatment (W-CAT) model and incorporate tools from the Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM), EFT tapping, and Havening when appropriate.

We can talk about which approaches might be useful for you and why.
