About My Clients
Growing up in a world that wasn't built for you can feel exhausting, isolating, and confusing. I partner with neurodivergent (ADHD) and LGBTQ+ children, teens, and their families who are navigating school stress, identity exploration, big emotions, or communication breakdowns. My favorite clients are the kids who feel "too much," the teens looking for a soft place to land, and the parents who want to move away from traditional, compliance-based parenting toward deep connection.
My Background and Approach
Therapy with me is active, down-to-earth, and compassionate. Living at the intersection of the neurodivergent and queer communities myself, I don't expect your family to conform to neurotypical or heteronormative boxes. I look at the whole child, focusing on how school, home, and community systems shape their well-being. Together we will discover what you need to thrive, focusing on nervous system regulation, unmasking, identity joy, and practical tools that respect your lived experience. I blend evidence-based methods with a warm, child-centered approach. Whether we use creative play, art, or collaborative problem-solving, your family’s unique strengths always lead the way. Online sessions offer a relaxed environment where your child can show up exactly as they are—whether in comfy PJs, bringing a snack, or using a fidget. While the vibe is low-pressure, our clinical work is powerful and tailored to build coping strategies and strengthen communication for lasting growth.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe therapy is a space for liberation, not conformity. Having sat on the therapy couch as a teenager desperately needing to be understood, I learned early on that true healing doesn’t come from a clinician trying to fix you. It comes from being deeply seen, safely held, and radically accepted exactly as you are. Mental health is inherently political. We cannot talk about healing without acknowledging the heavy toll that systemic oppression, white supremacy, and heteronormativity take on our minds and bodies. My practice is deeply committed to anti-racism, LGBTQ+ affirmation, and disability justice. In my space, you never have to mask, explain away your culture, or apologize for how your nervous system functions. Your quirks, identities, and lived experiences are not problems to be solved—they are the strengths we will use to help your family thrive. Personally, I'm an avid iced coffee drinker, indie pop enthusiast, and passionate thrifter!
