Provider information

Description

I bring my expertise and passion for hope to my psychotherapy practice, drawing from my experiences as a mother to two young atypical adults, special education teacher, divorcee, dating and partnering. I balance life with anxiety, depression, ADHD and Dyslexia and work well with the neurodiverse brain. My expertise in social communication and skills is fostered through the weekly social skills groups and my summer day camp for teens with Neurodiversity. 
I am a lover of life with the belief that there is HOPE for any changes and healing you desire.
