Introduction

I am a counselor who works with individuals across the lifespan, with particular experience supporting LGBTQ+ clients and autistic individuals. My goal is to create a space where clients feel affirmed, understood, and empowered to live in alignment with their values. My approach integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Relational-Cultural Therapy (RCT), focusing on building meaningful connections, increasing psychological flexibility, and helping clients move toward lives that feel authentic and fulfilling. I am also certified in AutPlay Therapy, an approach designed to support neurodivergent children (3-18) through play-based interventions that strengthen emotional regulation, communication, and relational skills.
