About My Clients
Have you always felt different, despite understanding how to perform as 'normal?' Have you been struggling under the invisible weight of perfectionism? Clients I work with often find themselves in a space between worlds, grappling with questions and challenges around neurodivergence, anxiety, stress and invalidation. Many are understandably exhausted from experiences with masking and social burnout.
My Background and Approach
I believe clients are the experts, and will center your experience to help guide our exploration of values, struggles and desires so that you can deepen your understanding of self and move towards what matters. I prioritize connection and know how important our relationship is in this work. I aim to provide a space where clients can be in the moment, reflect, recognize and make slow and intentional shifts, and focus on their values as we explore this work together. My approach is collaborative, person-centered, neurodivegent-affirming, Health-at-Every-Size aligned, and liberation focused. I integrate client expertise with trauma-informed, evidence-based modalities including acceptance and commitment therapy, metacognitive therapy, detached mindfulness and other branches of cognitive behavioral therapy. I can support clients through exposure techniques but am careful and intentional about whether and how we integrate these, prioritizing consent and values above all else.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My identities include white, neurodivergent and queer. I am also a parent, a partner, an educator and a learner. These identities inform my lived experience as an individual as well as a therapist. I am deeply committed to disability justice, as well as the pursuit of my own learning and unlearning in order to continue to foster a safe, anti-oppressive space for people of all identities and backgrounds.
