Welcome! I work with autistic people and those who love them! I have personal experience in this area, I am a neurodivergent (ADHD, Autistic/PDA) therapist who is a parent to a "neurospicy" PDA chid. PDA is pathological demand avoidance, or as I like to call it “persistent drive for autonomy". Although not yet an official diagnosis in the US, my goal is to create community and support around folks who identify themselves with these traits. I support pre-teens, teens, adults, and couples/families around autism, PDA and ADHD and better understanding and communicating their needs to others.
I offer parent coaching to assist parents in understanding more about how to communicate, love and hold space for neurodivergent or "neurospicy" kids. Through showing up for our kids the way they need us, we show them how to advocate and support their needs later in life. I work from a trauma informed (EMDR, IFS) and culturally humble lens.
Along with supporting neurodivergent clients, I work with relationships/attachment, body image/eating disorders, OCD, depression, anxiety and PTSD. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I love working with queer/trans clients! If you are interested in working with me, you can reach out to me or go to LetsWanderPsychotherapy.com to book a free consultation.
