Get To Know Me
How does collaboration with other providers play into your work?
I speak regularly with other providers who my patients work with, whether this is psychiatrists, testing psychologists, primary care, gender-affirming care, infertility specialists, etc. or anyone else who my patients feel should be involved so that they get the best outcomes possible.
In what ways have your personal experiences influenced your work with your clients?
Like many of my clients, I am a career changer; have gone through infertility treatments to conceive my child; have transitioned to parenthood while also transitioning into my role as a CEO of a large private practice; and I received an Autism Level 1 diagnosis late in life. Though I do not necessarily share my experiences because I believe therapy is the patient's time to talk about their life rather than mine, I bring a unique point of view, having gone through similar experiences and have cultivated a network of providers who specialize in these unique issues medically.
What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
My path to becoming a therapist was incredibly non-linear. I'm a career changer and had earned a MA In Sociology and worked in research prior to going back for a second graduate degree. I love data and I love research, but I didn't feel that data necessarily led to outcomes. I began to realize that micro-level work (work with humans!) was where I needed to be to see change.

Work HistoryAre you someone who has recently discovered you're on the Autism Spectrum later in life? Perhaps you've always felt a bit different but didn't have a name for it until now? You're not alone, & this journey of self-discovery can be both enlightening and challenging. I embrace a neurodiversity-affirming approach, recognizing & celebrating the diverse ways our brains work. If you’re a neurotypical parent struggling to accept your child’s diagnosis, stressed by IEP meetings, coping w/ seeing your child treated unfairly, or looking for insight into your child’s sensory challenges, I’m here for you too. (Note: I do not work with minors.)
I help newly-diagnosed adults cope w/ the identity crisis that comes w/ having masked for so long, the grief for what could’ve been if they’d been diagnosed earlier, & regret for the anguish they could’ve avoided. I work w/ neurotypical parents to form connection & cope with the stress of seeing their child have to navigate a world that wasn’t built for them.
My style is supportive, action-oriented, and honest- big sisterish with a dash of quirky humor. I've been in this field for about 15 years and have worked with many people just like yourself, in addition to knowing first-hand just what you are going through. You probably have plenty of questions, so please message me to set up your consultation.
Do I work with neurotypicals? Sure! I work with lots of different kinds of people and diagnoses. I have a special love for OCD, anxiety, career stress, and the mental health challenges that arise due to infertility, pregnancy, post-partum, and parenting. People of all backgrounds, genders, faiths, and communities are welcome at my practice.
