About My Clients
Are you Autistic or ADHD and want a therapist who actually understands your struggles, strengths, and needs of your neurotype? Have you tried therapy in the past and felt like you still weren’t understood and that it didn’t work for you? What would your life be like if you quit masking and spending energy trying to fit in, only to still feel like an outsider? I'm a neurodivergent therapist to help you see that you’re not broken, only trying to survive in an environment that wasn't made for you.
My Background and Approach
While standard CBT methods are often unhelpful for neurodiverse individuals, I use methods that pull from a number of approaches that are tailored to fit my client's unique needs. My goal is for you to understand and be able to navigate your sensory needs, and create support systems that actually work for your unique neurotype. We'll work together to understand and process how neurodivergent trauma impacts your anxiety, fears, and beliefs. I will also use methods that help integrate a greater connectedness to your body and that embraces using stimming and the senses to reduce feelings of overwhelm and fatigue. Using your special interests, we can create a narrative that helps you find and embrace your most authentic self and create new connections in your brain. Trainings in: ADHD, Internal Family Systems (Level 1), Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, Somatics, Therapeutic Roleplaying
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I understand that many people with Autism and ADHD were not diagnosed as children for a variety of systematic, gendered, cultural, and racial biases. The process of getting a diagnosis is costly and inaccessibly to many and some of my clients likely have had negative experiences if they have tried to go through this process later in life. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and also affirming for clients who practice nonmongamous and nontraditional relationship structures. I do not have any religious affiliation and my personal beliefs are rooted in social justice. My own background as Autistic and ADHD person who was late-diagnosed and that many neurodivergent clients would prefer a therapist who is as well.
