Message to clients

I approach serving my neurodivergent clients from a social justice, relational, liberationist, somatic and affirming perspective that is trauma informed. My goal as a neurodivergent affirming therapist is to help you honor your neurotype notwithstanding any diagnosis or outsider perspective including that of other ND folk.

I work with late-identified and late-diagnosed Autistic and AuDHD adults as they cope with the emotional and other impacts of a late diagnosis. I also work with families comprised of multiple autistics including parents or parents who are allistic (non-autistic) who might also be dealing with a late diagnosis or are navigating the world of providers and various referrals as they settle into their journey of discovery. Sometimes a diagnosis can challenge long held beliefs and disrupt one’s sense of Self and interactions with others.

My work is influenced by feminist theory which explores the ways in which systemic oppression affects mental health. In other words, we will consider how power dynamics affect your feeling capable and confident in the world to express your identity to the fullest.

Our work together may include: exploring and accommodating your sensory needs, self-expression, tailoring an individualize self-care plan, strengthening your self-advocacy skills, boundary work and energy management coaching. I also specialize in using an anti-ableist approach to help address perfectionism and procrastination to facilitate self-compassion and emotional literacy.
