Neurodivergence
As an autistic therapist, I bring an extra degree of sensitivity to the work we do together, knowing that safety and trust are earned. I work with you to co-create a respectful, enlivening space where your sensitivities, quirks, and intensity can thrive.
My Approach to Therapy
Therapy should be a space, a relationship, where your full complexity as a person can exist and come to be known. I do not practice ABA or behavioral therapies that seek to cure neurodivergent ways of being. You do not need to prove to me that your experience is real or valid. We begin with belief. Meltdowns, overwhelm, anxiety, hyper-fixations. All are valuable messages from your psyche, which deserve care and respect.
Relational & Complex Trauma
Neurodivergent folks are often misunderstood or treated with a lack of sensitivity. Together, we will build a relationship rooted in respect and dignity. I am interested in learning about how you experience yourself and the world, while moving at a pace that best serves your process. More about how I work with Trauma
To Diagnose or Not to Diagnose
I work with neurodivergent kids, teens, and adults, with and without formal diagnoses. I also welcome those not interested in diagnosis but curious about their lived experiences. Ultimately, diagnosis remains a question for you. I respect your right to self-identify as expert on your own lived experience.
