My Passion
I am passionate about helping children and teens develop a positive sense of self. As a Neurodivergent therapist, I find myself drawn to helping clients who are neurodivergent, highly sensitive, gifted, and twice exceptional. I also have a strong dedication to working with Neurodivergent children and teens, as well as adults recently diagnosed with Autism and/or ADHD.

In addition, I have an affinity for working with kids and teens experiencing through grief and loss, and I create a nurturing space for healing from trauma
