Areas of Clinical Interest

Treatment plans are developed collaboratively and are personalized to your needs. I believe that a safe and open therapeutic relationship is the catalyst for change. I invite awareness, curiosity, and care towards whatever needs attention in your life. I care deeply about the craft of therapy and am always learning and seeking feedback as we co-create pathways to growth. Here are some approaches we might consider for the following presenting concerns:

    • Learn practices to foster relaxation and ease in the body

    • Explore the functions anxiety has played for you in the past and present

    • Develop mindsets of agency and competence

    • Advocate for increased resources and support

    • Act with courage in the service of goals that matter

    • Understand and empathize with the challenges you face living with ADHD or autism in a neurotypical world

    • Explore and practice skills and strategies that are designed for neurodiverse people

    • Identify, utilize, and appreciate your unique strengths, values, and goals

    • Adapt your environment, expand your support system, and advocate for yourself

    • Foster emotional and relational safety, trust, and regulation

    • Understand effects of trauma and how they make sense given your history

    • Develop compassion, respect, support towards parts of self that have been hurt, at your own pace and in your own way

    • Experiment with new ways of being creative, connected, confident, authentic, and fulfilled

    • Identify internal and external factors that are contributing to depression

    • Foster encouraging, kind, constructive self-talk and implicit beliefs

    • Connect to gifts, interests, activities, goals, and relationships that invite vitality

    • Practice self-care in all dimensions of holistic well-being

With your permission, I can collaborate thoughtfully with your holistic care team, which may include educators, family members, med-management providers, coaches, or other healthcare providers. I am a proud member of WISER, an interdisciplinary organization for professionals who work in fields that serve students and individuals with learning and accessibility needs in the DC metropolitan area.

I facilitate therapy groups for young adults who are autistic or who wonder if they may be. The next group will begin in late January 2027. Reach out through the contact page for more information.
