Being unique is something to be celebrated, and sometimes we all need a little help finding our groove, especially when recovering from any kind of trauma. But, you don't have to do it alone. After receiving diagnoses of Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD as an adult, I became aware of the need for neurodivergent-affirming therapists and went back to school to become one, myself. I am a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and align with the Health at Every Size (HAES) framework. I am a queer, AuDHD, fat liberation therapist.
I use a strengths-based approach to therapy. I do not believe in “good” or “bad” coping skills, but rather embrace the idea that we outgrow coping skills that have helped us survive bad circumstances, and reach a time when we can part with them to make room for coping skills that serve who we are becoming.
Creating a strong, collaborative therapeutic relationship built on trust and safety is the foundation for a positive healing experience. I believe that each person is the expert in their own experiences and that we all can use a little help sometimes with finding the right tools to use when facing difficult life challenges
