About Me

I have been in my own therapy as long as I have been a therapist myself and my journey to understand myself has informed the work I do as a therapist. I intimately understand the vulnerability and strength it takes to face the pain and hurt of the past in order to create a better future. After being diagnosed with ADHD at 45 years old, I was able to make sense of lifelong patterns that plagued me my entire life. At the same time, looking at my childhood and family relations through the lens of trauma was excruciating and also allowed me to heal in a way I never thought possible. I offer you both my professional expertise AND my lived experience so that you can feel truly safe when we are in session.

Some fun facts about me:

• I live with my husband, two kids and two dogs. We are ALL neurodivergent except for our black Lab Lila who somehow turned out well adjusted

• I love puzzles, diamond dot painting, video games and anything else that lets me hyperfocus to my heart’s content

• My special interest is birds. I have three feeders on my windows in my office so that I can get my fix throughout the day. My favorite are crows and my life’s goal is make friends with one.
