About My Clients
I love working with folks navigating trauma/PTSD, ADHD, autism, anxiety, dissociation, OCD, PDA, and other neurodivergences. As someone who is neurodivergent, I understand both the challenges and the unique strengths that come with some of these lived experiences. This allows me to offer a safe, understanding, and validating space for individuals who may not feel fully seen or understood in traditional therapeutic settings. I can see folks from Oregon and Colorado virtually or in-person in CO.
My Background and Approach
You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin this journey. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel supported and heard, no matter where you are in your journey. My approach to therapy is grounded in respect, empathy, and a deep understanding of neurodivergent and trauma-impacted minds. I focus on reestablishing muddled connections between the mind, heart, and gut. I utilize a lot of somatic tools/body connection techniques in order to relearn how to interpret the emotional and physical signals from body. I often utilize art and other creative interventions to allow for nonverbal processing as well. It is extremely important to me that the space we create is as comfortable as possible and completely consent-driven. I check in often before offering guidances to ensure that they’re welcome. In addition to somatic and creative interventions, I also utilize EMDR and mindfulness/meditation practices.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Three goals I aim for as a therapist are to: 1. Honor your unique experience. Your lived experience matters. I work with you to identify your unique needs, preferences, and goals. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, social challenges, reactivity to triggers, or just navigating the world as a neurodiverse individual, my goal is to create a tailored approach that works for you. 2. Focus on your strengths. I take a strengths-based approach, highlighting the ways your brain works in its own beautiful, creative, and insightful ways. We will explore how you can use your strengths to navigate the world around you. 3. Provide a safe, non-judgmental space. As a neurodivergent therapist, I understand the importance of a space where you feel truly seen and heard. You won’t have to explain yourself here or worry about me making assumptions about how you should think, feel, or behave.
