Does it sometimes feel like you are struggling to just exist? As a Queer, Latina, AuDHD (Autistic/ADHD) therapist, I get it! Many spaces in this world are not designed for us, and sometimes even work against us. Your feelings of overwhelm and othered-ness are justified, but that shouldn't stop you from building the authentic life you deserve. Have you been labeled as weird, quirky, too sensitive/emotional, lazy, or overall just too much? Are you someone who does not fit the normative societal standards because of your sexual/romantic orientations, gender presentation, or for practicing consensual/ethical non-monogamy?
I work through a decolonizing, intersectional lens to help adults and teens who are diagnosed or self diagnosed as neurodivergent, as well as individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, CPTSD, or general life transitions and stressors. I embrace differences in communication and self expression, rather than viewing differences as problems to be fixed.
I work with individuals, couples, triads and polycules who want to learn how to reach their goals using strengths based methods that work with their unique brain types. My goal is to help you understand why your brain works the way it does, and find tools to help you accommodate your needs and help you thrive.
