About My Clients
I specialize in supporting folks who are neurodivergent, living with disability or with chronic illness/pain, navigate a world that is not built for them. I also specialize in helping caregivers, people working through grief and trauma, medical professionals coping with stresses within the healthcare system, and those facing end of life issues or their loved ones needing support. If you are carrying work stress, trauma, anxiety, I will walk beside you as we develop tools of resilience together
My Background and Approach
At all times, I practice person-centered and trauma-informed care, emphasizing safety and empowerment, and that clients are the experts of their own care. I value providing treatment that is evidence based, like CBT, which focuses on identifying how our thoughts shape our feelings and behaviors, and how we can replace distressing, or unhelpful thoughts with those that are useful. I incorporate existential themes into treatment, emphasizing choice, freedom, and the importance of living in the here-and-now. Existentialism acknowledges the reality of life's painful truths without attempting to soften or minimize them, but without abandoning hope of building a better tomorrow Radical hope is the idea that a better future is possible, even if current circumstances prevent us from fully seeing the path forward. Having radical hope does not mean things will get better by themselves, or that the path forward will be without hardship, but it asserts that humans are resilient than they realize
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe in the inherent dignity and value of all humans. I remain active in my local human rights advocacy groups. I am a racial and social justice ally, and an LGBTQIA+ affirming provider. I have lived experience navigating the world while neurodivergent and living with chronic illness. If an animal ever joins the therapy session, I will ask about them and I will want to know their name.
