As a member of a neurodivergent family, I understand how difficult it can be to find providers who are knowledgeable and/or willing to work with neurodivergent clients in typical mental health settings, and on the things that are important to them, rather than on what society dictates. I am also a queer and gender non-conforming woman, and aim to provide a space that is affirming of all genders and sexualities. In all cases, my goal is to provide the kind of knowledgeable, validating care I wish my family and myself could have had available when we needed it most.
I have more than 7 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and their families in different settings. This includes providing help to people across varied diagnoses and from diverse cultures. I believe in an anti-racist setting and recognizes the complexity of ongoing race-based stress and the impact it can have on a person’s well-being.
As a clinician, I have experience with CBT for anxiety and depression, trauma-focused CBT, building parenting skills, mindfulness skills, and providing strengths-based care for neurodivergent children, adolescents, and their families. I have also worked with clients providing gender and LGBTQ+ affirming care at different stages of their journey.
