I see patients virtually and in-person!
Your story is your own, and its telling is powerful. Together, we can honor your story by holding it gently and curiously, celebrating your strengths, navigating your struggles, and finding humor in life’s absurdities.
Whether you have specific treatment goals in mind or are simply looking for ongoing support for whatever life may bring, I am here to meet you without judgment, to invite your candid expression, and to work with you toward your own definition of well-being. The work of growth and healing can be challenging, but together we can find meaning and joy in the process.
I may not always have immediate availability. If so, we’ll respond right away with some alternative therapists specialized to your needs!
Ava has experience in LGBTQ+ health services, where she worked toward better diagnosis and treatment outcomes for transgender and gender-expansive individuals experiencing eating disorders. She has previously worked with school-aged children with ADHD and autism.
