In my neurodiversity-affirming practice, I view neurodivergence as a celebrated difference, not a deficit. My ideal client is a female-identifying or non-binary adult navigating the challenges of neurodivergent identity. They struggle with self-criticism, overwhelm, and burnout from masking their true selves. Their goal is to embrace their unique strengths, cultivate self-compassion, and advocate for their needs in a world that often misunderstands them. Sessions are strategically structured to accommodate level 1 autism and ADHD; However, anyone may inquire if my profile resonates with them.
I approach treatment from a feminist, intersectional, and trauma-informed lens. I walk alongside clients as they unpack their identities, re-write their life stories, reduce self-criticism, cope with big emotions, rise from burnout, learn to unmask, gain a stronger sense of self, and develop self-advocacy skills.
The main modalities that I use are Self-Compassion CBT, DBT, ACT, MI, Crisis Intervention, and Narrative Therapy. Dignity, humanity, non-judgment, self-reflexivity, least harm, and integrity are my key values and principles. Whether you're newly diagnosed or exploring self-diagnosis — or neither — you’re welcome here just as you are.
