About My Clients
I enjoy working with clients within the neurodivergent and queer communities, as I am a member of these communities myself. I offer support for self-discovery/identity, anxiety, stress, life transitions, and ADHD/Autism/AuDHD (affirming therapy, not coaching).
My Background and Approach
My approach is based in Gestalt Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Feminist Therapy. These approaches assist me in helping my clients build awareness of their needs and values, the options they have to choose from to support the life they want to live, and what might be getting in the way of taking action or making desired changes. I believe my client's are the experts of their own lives, and I act to empower them in making choices to support their authentic selves. I tend to embody a casual and patient energy as a therapist, and do not hold my client's to any set standards apart from maintaining mutual respect in our therapeutic relationship. You are allowed to laugh, cry, scream, eat, take a break, wear your pajamas, craft, play with fidget toys, and do whatever else you need to do to take care of yourself during our therapy sessions.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My values include, though are not limited to, authenticity, autonomy, choice, compassion, curiosity, humor, nonjudgement, transparency, and social justice. These values often show up for me in my role as a therapist. When I'm not providing therapy, I'm usually spending time with my chosen family (including pets), listening to comedy or informational podcasts, traveling to new and familiar places, finding something delicious to eat, planning my next tattoo, or starting a new hobby that may or may not stick (probably the latter).
