My Ideal Client

Most people find they get stuck at some point, and despite trying their best they are unable to overcome a particular challenge - it can be depression symptoms, addiction, anxiety, trauma, or not fully understanding their neurotype. My job as a therapist is to help you meet your goals. Whether that includes a shift in perspective, change of habits, adding skills to your repertoire, or integrating the past to help you access your full self. Ultimately, I want to help you live the life you want.

How I Can Help You

I provide telehealth therapy services to adults as well as comprehensive affirming evaluations for adults who are considering that they may be autistic. I draw from several research-backed approaches such as CBT, parts work, DBT, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed, strengths-based treatments. I enjoy working with a variety of issues but specialize in working with people facing multiple diagnoses concurrently such as addiction and depression or trauma, or autistic folks who need to address mental health needs with a provider who understands how their neurotype may impact them.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Prior to becoming a therapist, I trained as a violinist and opera singer. My development as a musician informs my treatment approach as I see providing therapy as similar to developing facility on an instrument - a development of awareness, skill, self-concept, and support. It's a process where mistakes are expected and treasured for the growth opportunities they provide. I take an artistic stance to treatment and enjoy working with other artists frequently. My social locations: I am a white heterosexual cisgender female, LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC ally. Sex positive, adamantly gender affirming, and kink & poly friendly. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can get to know each other and decide if we're a good fit.

Techniques I Use

Specialties

  • Addiction Therapy External link

    I work with many people looking to change to their relationship to substances. I provide a nonjudgmental space for you to clarify your goals and support you in reaching them. I can help with abstinence or moderation goals if appropriate for the client. If you don’t know what you want yet or if you are even ready to make a change, we’re good. We’ll talk it through, step by step, and get you where you want to go.

  • Psychological Testing and Evaluation  External link

    I provide neurodivergence-affirming adult autism evaluations over telehealth. My assessment process uses a combination of qualitative and quantitative measures to create a full picture of your neurotype, and includes a therapeutic feedback session where we discuss results and help you incorporate them into your understanding of yourself.
