About the Practice

A Grounded Approach

ꕤ ꕤ ꕤ

Like every plant in a garden, each person has their own rhythm, needs, and way of growing. Some flourish in sunlight, others find strength in the shade. When care is attuned and conditions are supportive, growth can unfold in ways that feel more grounded and nourishing.

Who I Work With

I offer a nurturing, affirming space where teens (ages 13–18) and adults can explore who they are, tune into what supports them, and reconnect with where they find their ground, at their own pace and in their own way. My work is grounded in a neurodiversity-affirming, disability-informed, mindfulness-based and trauma-informed perspective that honors the many ways brains and bodies move through the world.

Areas of Support

I support teens and adults navigating anxiety, chronic illness, neurodivergence, life transitions, and periods of feeling overwhelmed or stuck. Rather than focusing on fixing what feels uncomfortable, therapy centers on understanding what you need and supporting what is already trying to grow within you.

What Counseling Can Look Like

Counseling is tailored to individual needs and may include conversation, creative or activity-based approaches, visual supports, and gentle structure when helpful. Accommodations are thoughtfully incorporated to support a range of intellectual, developmental, sensory, and emotional needs, with care taken to move at a pace that feels accessible and grounding.

Working with Teens and Families

When working with teens (13–18), counseling may include intentional parent or caregiver involvement when helpful. Collaboration is handled thoughtfully to support the teen while respecting developmental boundaries, autonomy, and confidentiality. The focus remains on creating a supportive environment that allows teens to feel safe, understood, and engaged in the process.

A Collaborative Approach

Together, we tend to the parts of you that feel unsupported or overgrown, unlearn what no longer serves you, and create space for growth guided by your authentic self. I use evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches grounded in compassion, curiosity, and collaboration, always adapting our work to fit your unique experiences, strengths, and needs. If you are seeking a space where your whole self is welcome, mind, body, and spirit, I would be honored to walk with you as you find your ground in this season of renewal.
