About

My approach is strengths-based, collaborative, and individualized. I don't believe therapy should be about forcing someone into a particular mold or masking who they are. Instead, I focus on helping clients understand themselves, build emotional regulation and coping skills, navigate relationships and communication, and develop strategies that actually work for their unique needs.

I bring experience with autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, and life transitions, drawing from approaches including CBT, DBT, ACT, and trauma-informed care.

Whether you're a young adult adjusting to the adult world or navigating anxiety, relationships, identity, or everyday demands, my goal is to meet you where you are, without judgment. Therapy with me is a space where curiosity, humor, honesty, and individuality are welcome.

You don't have to have everything figured out before reaching out. We can start exactly where you are and work together from there.

Education & Licensure
Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lock Haven University; Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Shippensburg University
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

My motivation for working with autistic and neurodivergent clients comes from a deep belief that you deserve to be understood for who you are, not made to feel like you need to change to fit into the world around you. I'm passionate about creating a therapy space where you can feel accepted, understood, and safe enough to be authentic.

I'm especially drawn to the strengths, unique perspectives, creativity, and resilience within the neurodivergent community. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, navigate emotions and relationships, manage the demands of daily life, and develop strategies that support your well-being, without relying on shame or masking.

I want you to leave therapy not only feeling more equipped to handle challenges, but more confident in who you are. For me, neurodiversity-affirming care means meeting you where you are, listening to what you need, and working collaboratively toward a life that feels meaningful and sustainable for you.
