If you're looking for a therapist who approaches therapy from both a practical and emotional lens, we may be a good fit! I want to help you achieve your goals and offer a space to express and make sense of your experiences. I have vast experience working with the neurodivergent population, and enjoy assisting those with ADHD and Autism as they navigate relationships, life responsibilities, and transitions. I am queer-allied and body-neutral. I work with ages 13 and up.
I can provide practical strategies to help improve frequent areas of challenge such as executive function and time blindness, while also providing a validating and affirming atmosphere. I am a creative and enjoy working with those who are experiencing related challenges such as imposter syndrome, writer's block, or performance anxiety.
I have experience working with those who experience chronic pain/ illness, and approach these topics in an affirming and supportive manner. It is important to me to offer an inclusive environment where those of any gender, age, sexual orientation, and race feel welcome. I would love to work with you, please feel free to reach for a free consultation!
