My approach

My life journey has led me to be dedicated to helping individuals realize their ability to heal and grow. My work focuses on using a trauma-informed lens to help with anxiety, depression, behavior difficulties, grief, loss, and past traumas. I believe in empowering my clients while ensuring their felt safety, regardless of background.

My neurodivergent-affirming assessment process is not only client-centered but also collaborative, involving spouses, caregivers, and educators. I look not only at where clients have challenges, but also at where their strengths lie. I aim to empower families and individuals, validate their feelings and thoughts, and help them understand and advocate for their needs.
