The first time I heard the saying "Nothing About Us Without Us" I fell in love, and I now have regular, ongoing consultation with autistics, including autistic counselors. I'm here to make life easier, kind of like a Mental-Health Interpreter, bridging the gap between the autistic and neurotypical world. Together, we can focus on easier communication, promoting understanding, building connections, and ensuring access to a life worth living. Or, maybe on just making it through the next week. My approach is strictly NON ABA, NON-behaviorally-focused, and highly trauma and PDA-informed.

I believe our choices are deeply influenced by the information we have at any given moment. This information is derived from how we interpret our life experiences, forming a narrative that defines who we are. When this narrative becomes unhelpful or fails to bring us comfort, it can lead to a range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, trauma, or addiction.
My aim is to offer clients a compassionate, non-judgmental environment where we can examine how past experiences may be hindering your ability to enjoy life fully. Together, we can identify effective coping strategies, explore new options, and set meaningful goals.
