My Background

As a neurodivergent individual myself, I love working with neurodivergent clients! I do not pathologize clients; instead I focus on their strengths and their unique, valuable insights. I encourage my clients to switch away from the mindset of “something’s wrong with me.” Instead, we focus on the struggles created by living in a society that was not built with us in mind and find coping techniques that are less taxing.

How I work

Whether you are brand new to therapy or have years of experience, I look forward to helping you on the next part of your journey! Although we haven’t met yet, I accept you exactly as you are. I particularly enjoy working with clients who have felt othered or judged by society, including LGBTQIA+ individuals, geeks and gamers, Wiccans and Pagans, neurodivergent people, and anyone else who is looking for a safe, non-judgmental space to feel truly heard. My therapy style is highly compassionate and personable. I believe that mutual respect, honesty, trust and vulnerability are at the core of effective counseling. I will always be genuine with you and encourage you to be honest with me. I am an eclectic therapist which means that I pull from different therapy modalities to suit each of my clients’ individual needs—this means that if something isn’t working, we can try something different!
