If you are: having trouble communicating with others, self-or-officially-diagnosed neurodivergent (ADHD, autistic, person who stutters), in relationship with someone who is neurodivergent, unsure of what your needs are or how to express them, feeling numb or out of touch with your body, then this is for you.
I am a neuro-questioning somatic speech therapist who works with play, art, and movement in order to unlock more genuine and effective communication across neurotypes. Together, we can 1) unlearn stigma and ableism 2) build interoception and bodily awareness through somatics, and 3) talk through social communication challenges.
If any of this resonates, and you'd like to learn more, set up a free consult call with me. I accept BCBSIL and offer sliding scale options. I currently see clients virtually, or in person in Chicago. I also offer workshops and groups on stimming, unmasking, and somatics.
