Growing up with learning disabilities, I had an experience that is all too familiar for the neurodivergent community. Often feeling misunderstood and out of place, I was faced with indifference, ignorance, neglect, gaslighting, shame, and the assumption that I could navigate a world that was not built for me without the support I so badly needed. Lonely, adrift, and struggling to find a sense of belonging, I was cast aside and left to fend for myself. After a series of negative experiences with mental health resources and support, my personal journey led me to a couples therapist in 2014. There, I embarked on a journey of transformation, and I was able to see the profound impact that the right therapy relationship could have on a person. It was then that I was introduced to Gestalt psychotherapy, which I immediately connected with. From there, I set forth on a new journey to study Gestalt psychotherapy at the Gestalt Associates for Psychotherapy, a post-graduate training program. Pursuing this path, I have continued to experience connectedness, belonging, compassion, the wonder of curiosity, and love itself. Arriving at this place of acceptance and understanding changed everything for me. Understanding that this positive experience is not the norm for members of the neurodivergent community, I decided to dedicate myself to providing that same transformation for others. With this mission, I founded Welcome Home Healing in 2023. Since then, I have had the pleasure of helping many clients embrace their own innate worth, gifts, individuality, and the freedom to shed their masks of shame and self doubt.

Are you feeling lost, doubtful, maybe even disappointed in yourself or your partner? And the harder you struggle to face the problem, the more discouraged you feel for not “having it all figured out”? Imagine the freedom of trusting yourself. Moving through your day with a sense of calm and confidence that you already have everything you need to navigate your journey through life. You might not be there yet, but you will be. And I’ll be with you every step of the way. While relationships can lead to stress and anxiety, they can also be the source of safety and security for us if we let them. I work primarily with individuals and couples struggling with relationship distress. Whether you're struggling in your relationship with your partner or yourself, we can work together to identify the parts that need attention and change negative patterns so you can feel closer to those around you and live a more meaningful life. It takes a great deal of courage to seek help, however, doing so it’s the first step towards healing and powerful transformation. The best choice we can make is to commit to becoming our greatest selves, and I would feel privileged to take that journey with you!
