No one comes to therapy with a single issue or diagnosis. Depression can affect relationships. Trauma can shape self-esteem. Substance use can become intertwined with anxiety, grief, or career. Most people are dealing with several things at once.

My practice focuses on helping people understand any patterns or limiting beliefs adding to their burden and make meaningful changes that bring relief, and lead to a more satisfying life.

Issues I work with most often:

Depression
Anxiety
Trauma
Addiction
Problems with dating and relationships
Life transitions and major life changes - including divorce, career, becoming a parent, approaching retirement
Autism - evaluation, identity development
Complexities of giftedness/high IQ

If alcohol or drug use has started to cause problems in your life, it may be time to quit. I’ll help you take a look at what’s happening, understand the role substances are playing, and build a plan.

For most people, abstinence is the safest, most effective path forward. For some, moderation may be appropriate. We’ll look at the evidence, your goals, and what is realistically sustainable for you.

I can also assess whether a higher level of care is needed and help you weigh your options if more intensive treatment is indicated.

Being autistic is a neurotype that comes with gifts and challenges in a world that often prioritizes adherence to neurotypical norms (NT folks can be so inflexible!).

I can provide an evaluation and/or work with you on developing your autistic identity and reducing masking, and collaborate with you on any concerns related to autistic traits such as meeting sensory needs, or differences in communication styles inhibiting connection with others.

I also provide treatment for conditions like depression, anxiety, trauma, or addictions with an ND-affirming approach.

I provide neurodivergence-affirming autism and ADHD evaluations for adults. More information can be found here.

Food is fun, nourishing, comforting, and pleasurable. However, if eating amounts of food that make you feel uncomfortable and unwell gets caught up in a cycle of dependence, it can ruin the joy of it. If you have also experienced the traumatic effects of fat stigma, you may need support reconnecting with your body and yourself. I love supporting people with compulsive eating concerns from an intuitive eating, structured as helpful, self-respect-first perspective. Let’s get things feeling good + balanced for you and food.
