“Accepting Telehealth clients” Are you looking for a neurodiversity affirming clinician with lived experience and a formal diagnosis of Autism and ADHD? I am a licensed mental health counselor with 20 years of experience in child development and psychology. I specialize in trauma-informed and person-centered therapy. My approach is rooted in creating a safe, supportive space where you can explore your preferred way of being.
I have been practicing as a counselor for 9 years working with individuals facing trauma, depression and anxiety. As a LGBTQ+ ally, I am committed to fostering an inclusive and affirming environment.
In addition to traditional therapy, I am also a Certified Animal Assisted Therapy Professional. In the future, I hope to incorporate Animal Assisted Psychotherapy (AAP) into my practice. AAP blends the comfort of animal companionship with goal-oriented therapy, helping with emotional regulation, motivation, and overall well-being.
My dog, Zalea, and my two cats may occasionally join telehealth sessions, offering a calming presence.
If you’re looking for a therapist who values authenticity, connection, and individualized care, I’d love to support you on your journey. Let’s work together to create meaningful change.
