What can I expect from therapy?
I provide trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming psychotherapy for adults. My practice primarily supports neurodivergent adults (including those who identify as autistic, ADHD, or highly sensitive/HSP) as well as members of LGBTQIA+, relationship-diverse, kink, disabled, and chronic illness communities.
Many of the people I work with describe getting limited value from previous therapy experiences and were reluctant to try again. Often this is because they felt they had to censor parts of themselves, spend valuable therapy time educating providers about their lived experience, or regularly advocate for their needs in ways that felt exhausting.
Finding a therapist who "gets" some of our lived experience can make all the difference in feeling safe enough to show up authentically. Sharing a therapeutic space with someone from our own community can be an entirely different sort of experience.
I believe therapy should be a collaborative, non-judgmental space where our authenticity, lived experience, and intersectional identities feel seen and valued. We are each the expert in our own unique lived experience. My role isn't to tell you who you should be, but to collaborate with you in understanding yourself more deeply and supporting a way of living that feels increasingly authentic and sustainable.
My approach is collaborative, person-centered, trauma-informed, and grounded in neurodiversity-affirming, anti-oppressive, and queer-affirming principles. My work is also informed by the nervous system, the mind-body connection, and the understanding that there are many valid ways of moving through the world. Clients often tell me this feels like a space where they don't have to explain or defend fundamental parts of who they are, allowing more room for curiosity, self-understanding, and self-compassion.
