My work is grounded in gentle comfort, compassion, and encouragement, to help you cultivate self-love as antidote to the trauma, hardships, and discomfort our lives put us through. My sessions are not a place were you fill in fear ladders or go over thought records. Neurodivergent folks are unique in how we experience in the world, and good therapy that makes meaningful progress means tailoring every step to fit you. This is a truly collaborative process where both your experiences and how you experience the world matters.

First we’ll look at how you experience the word and make sense experiences that have been confusing, distressful, or even traumatic to you. Then we’ll help you relate to your emotions in new ways, and provide you with more possibilities for relating to yourself and others. Effective healing doesn’t mean having to recall your worst memories, it means undoing the aloneness you felt when they happened.

As a fellow neurodivergent person, I know traditional therapy can be a deeply frustrating experience and leave us feeling even worse at times. Every part of our collaboration will be a validating and encouraging experience to provide space for change, regardless of how well you already know your emotions. My training in Accelerated Experience Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), an evidence-supported approach, helps to engage your body in therapy, to provide an experience beyond distress relief and embraces your complexity as well as the life experiences you carry.
