You’ve spent years holding it together - pushing through, masking, and telling yourself you’re “fine” - until your body or brain finally said enough. Now you’re exhausted, on edge, maybe chronically ill. You’re living in a world that is constantly working against you, where just existing as who you are is risky. You’re tired of therapy that treats you like a project to fix or just offers coping skills that ignore the reality you’re living in. You want a space where you can slow down and feel like yourself again - maybe even for the first time. I’m an autistic trauma therapist who works with fellow neurodivergent & LGBTQIA+ adults.
I take seriously the ways your body and mind have learned to survive in a culture that demands too much and gives too little back. Therapy with me is creative, collaborative, and built around whatever helps you feel supported. This might include a blend of talk therapy, art, sensory experiences, or therapies such as Brainspotting to help process trauma.
I’m a good fit if you are ready to dig beneath the surface and get to the core of your experience - setting the stage for authentic, powerful, and lasting change. If this sounds like the kind of space you’ve been looking for, we can start with a free 15-minute consult to see how it feels. Online booking availlable on my website.
