I recognize that the world is largely set up by (and for) those who are neurotypical. For the ones who do not fall into that category (ex. those who have traits of ADHD, ASD, SPD, HSP, etc.) it can lead to some hardships that many do not even realize are factors in one’s everyday life. Because of this, I work hard to offer a space where you feel heard, understood, and valued. I don’t care for words like “fixing” or “normalizing,” but rather, I feel strongly about celebrating neurodivergence and uniqueness, and looking for the strengths that come from the ability to see and process the world in a different way.
I like to use a collaborative approach in therapy, where my clients and I work together to find what it is they are looking for. Whether you already know exactly what that is, or you just feel like you need to talk with someone, both are great starting places! Research shows us that growth and healing can come just from interpersonal contact and insight.
You do not need to have a formal diagnosis to begin counseling. It is my goal to offer a therapeutic environment that is non-judgmental, inclusive, accessible, and affirming for individuals of all identities and backgrounds. I know change can be hard, and so can reaching out to new people, but if you think I could be a support to you, I’d love to meet you.
