Blue Thistle is now accepting new clients! Through early connections we learn about ourselves, others and our world. Sometimes, safe connections and acceptance have been missing in our lives due to neurodivergence, social rejection, abuse or neglect. We may walk through life feeling like outsiders struggling to understand the world and ourselves. I work to provide a safe place to unmask and develop self compassion, self acceptance and healing. I offer collaborative, nonjudgmental support to explore your strengths and manage life's challenges. My style is compassionate yet direct, and utilizes multiple evidence-based therapy models.
I am a queer, AuDHD, cis-female therapist that works with adult 18+ for individual with trauma, depression, anxiety, shame, attachment issues, LGBTQIA+ concerns, late diagnosed Autism Level 1, and ADHD. I am EMDR trained (certification pending) and Anchored Relational certified to address trauma at a neurological/somatic level.
I offer client-centered, neurodivergent affirming therapy which honors the Neurodiversity Paradigm and is non-pathologizing and non-conformist in approach. I also provide LGBTQIA+ affirming care and have a special interest in the intersectionality of transgender, neurodivergence, and developmental/social trauma experiences.
