Description

Short Description (199 characters max)
LPCC and LMFT with focus on neurodivergent population, religious trauma, adult children of alcoholics, and relationship challenges
Description (2950 characters max)
I specialize in two distinct areas, each with deep personal and professional meaning. First, I am passionate about working with neurodiverse individuals, couples, and families. I am a dedicated advocate of the neurodiversity model, which views ADHD, Autism, AuDHD, and other neurodivergent traits as natural variations within the human spectrum. I believe embracing these differences, rather than pathologizing them, allows for a more compassionate and empowering approach to therapy.

Another focus of my practice is providing compassionate care for individuals navigating religious trauma, particularly from high-control religious groups, high-demand organizations, and cults. My area of study focuses on patriarchal apocalyptic and new age spiritual groups. If you are in a high-control religious group and considering leaving and struggling to adjust to life outside or have been out of the group and have never reconciled your experiences, I offer a gentle approach to help you embrace your authentic self and personal goals. Whether you're seeking individual support or working toward family reconciliation, I’m here to support you on your journey.
