I enjoy working with clients with diverse lived experiences. With neurodivergent clients, I work within the neurodiversity paradigm, recognizing neurodivergence as a component of identity, rather than pathology. Together we may explore depression, anxiety, trauma, gender and sexual identity, relationship dynamics, life transitions, burnout, perfectionism, people-pleasing tendencies, or boundary-setting, among other patterns. My approach is strengths-based, trauma-informed, and person-centered, meaning that I treat each client as the expert of their own life and emphasize the importance of the therapeutic relationship.
In 2023, I became certified in AutPlay therapy. This is a unique framework for working with neurodivergent children, emphasizing that no child needs therapy because they are neurodivergent; rather, they need therapy when they have specific mental health needs. I continually seek out training and supervision to help me in my work addressing trauma.
Before we can make significant changes in our lives, we must each feel safe and understood. Taking the first step to pursue therapy can be intimidating, regardless of your lived experience or background. Wherever you end up, I hope you find someone who will hold space for all the complexities of your life. I would be honored to open that space to you.
