I am an unapologetic queer, autistic/ND social worker and trauma therapist. I work collaboratively with autistic/ND individuals, families and professionals, offering non-violent, disability/racial/gender justice based healing support. Support is attuned, holistic, depathologizing and decolonizing. My work supports reconnection with self, community and culture. Our neurotypes are not "disordered". Deep healing and liberation come through resisting neurodisablist and sanist systems and finding pathways back to our embodied wisdom, power and JOY!
Focus areas include: individual and collective trauma; clinical, workplace and educational trauma; abuse; developmental injury; bullying, social exclusion; sensory needs and accommodations; justice sensitivity; burnout; (un)masking; moral injury; existential crisis; leadership journeys of ND educators, professionals, change makers; purpose and meaning.
Approaches are integrative and tailored to you. They can include: somatic, sensorimotor, polyvagal/neurobiological, attachment-based, relational, mindfulness, existential, ecological, feminist, animal-assisted. Healing work is 2SLGBTQ+, sex, poly, kink, and body positive. I offer (free) 30 minute fit consults to explore the possibility of working together.
