Therapy Services

My specialties include supporting those managing trauma, anxiety and OCD, mood disorders, neurodivergence, parenting special needs kids, substance use, and identity development. I proudly utilize an integrative approach to therapy in order to address the individualized needs of each client. 

​

Individual sessions with me are 1-hour in length. While I am not a family or couples therapist, I do see huge benefits in including clients’ greatest natural support systems in the therapeutic process; if this means including them in sessions on an as needed basis, I am all for it!

​

When beneficial, I also sincerely enjoy collaborating with other important providers in my clients’ lives, including doctors/psychiatrists, school systems, sponsors, coaches, and movement practitioners.

Most of the symptoms and experiences listed below are very normal and likely appear in everyone’s lives at some point.

I specialize in working with clients who are working to manage the following:
