Welcome, I am so glad you are here! I work with autistic children and teens 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" 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 children, teens, and parents around autism and PDA to create more harmonious family relationships and support the mental health of PDAers.
In addition to child and teen therapy, I support 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.
My other specialities include: trauma informed care, educational/school issues, ADHD, 2e and gifted children and teens. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I love working with queer/trans clients or those exploring. If you are interested in working with me, you can reach out to me or go to: LetsWanderPsychotherapy. com to book a free consultation.
