I’m a patient, attentive, neurodivergent human, fueled by deep curiosity and compassion ready to walk with you through any life stage. Through my own personal work in depth therapy, 10+ years in the field, and formidable life experiences, I have learned that we’re all on a unique journey towards tending to parts of ourselves that have been mistreated or left behind by adverse past experiences. As an individual and a provider, I have a strong passion for healing. I believe in the power of restorative relationships, that everyone possesses the ability to rewrite unhelpful life narratives, and the strength to transform their life.

Our time together will be about discovery, acceptance, and growth. It is a sacred space for you to experience someone prioritizing you through compassionate exploration and deep respect. I prioritize safety in our therapeutic space and I will closely listen to your experiences with gentleness and wonder.

I’ll celebrate you and your uniqueness and mourn alongside you for the injustices that you've faced and the times that you've been silenced. I’ll help you to build insight into the emotions and conflicts beneath the symptoms that are causing difficulty in your life, in order to gain an expanded understanding of yourself, build empowerment, and make change.

I use a collaborative integrative psychodynamic approach to partner with clients. This often means, taking intentional caring time to build trust, so that you feel safe to explore together. Usually, our challenging mental health symptoms are trying to communicate something much deeper about our relationship with our past experiences. I can help you to uncover what is needing to be known.

Neurodivergent Process Group, Los Angeles

Hosted by

Sarah Finch

This group is facilitated by me (a fellow ND person). Emotional safety and respect are my priority as we build this therapeutic space together. This is a process-oriented group, which means there will not be teaching or therapist led interventions. Instead, it focuses on the experience together, sharing with one another, and making connections. The intention for this therapy group is to provide an environment for members to share about their neurodivergent experiences, relate to others, and have the opportunity to build community in an environment that is celebratory and embracing uniqueness rather than promoting masking or perpetuating harm.
