About My Clients
My clients are up for the challenge of questioning the messages from the systems that have dictated their lives. They are open and curious about what life could look be if their needs were better supported by themselves, their relationships, and their environment. They are ready to find their way back to human connection, purpose, and peace.
My Background and Approach
In our time together, we’ll explore ways to pursue a lifestyle that better aligns with your unique needs. Our work together will help you: find confidence in navigating healthy relationships, escape the cycle of high achievement and burnout, become attuned with the needs of your nervous system and develop the skills and resources to better regulate its responses. My approach is both challenging and supportive, direct yet affirming. I’m committed to creating a therapy space that values your autonomy and centers your lived experiences. As a therapist, I weave lessons of self-advocacy and resilience into our work, always mindful of the broader oppressive systems we navigate.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Neurodivergent-Affirming: I work with clients to understand their neurotypes and work towards a lifestyle in which they can be their full selves, free from forcing themselves to fit a mold that was never made for them. I see neurodiversity as necessary and valuable, not something to be fixed or cured. I believe self-diagnosis is valid, and lived experience should be valued above outdated research done on populations that lack diversity across all categories. Social Justice Lens: As a neurodivergent, queer, Black, biracial, cisgender female, my professional practice is rooted in leveraging my various identities and privileges alongside themes of resilience, community care, and social justice. I center the values and methods that move counseling towards a practice of cultural affirmation and responsiveness, and away from the myth of “cultural competency” that is traditionally fed to clinicians.
