Maybe you're one of the Autistic/ADHD people out there who are wondering what their neurotype means for their lives, or how to adapt with lovingkindness to belonging to one of these wonderful neurotypes. Maybe you're trans and just figuring it out now, or you've known for a long time, and there you are, existing in this vastness. Maybe you're queer, lesbian, bi, ace, or aro, and out there living your life. Maybe you're grappling with issues of racial identity & justice, ecological justice, or social justice. Maybe you're sad, anxious, bipolar, autistically burnt out or recovering from trauma. Maybe grappling with existential things. I am a Psychodynamic therapist with ACT, DBT, Feminist, and Womanist influences. I bring a keen sense of therapeutic metaphor, a sensitivity to & celebration of difference, an expertise on neurodiversity, and a sense of cultural humility. I believe that I am a formal mental healthcare expert, but my clients are the experts of their lived experiences & life. It can feel vulnerable to reach out to a prospective therapist. I certainly don't wish to make that process any harder. If you're interested in talking about potential therapy work together, as privacy is limited on the web, I encourage you to give me a general picture of what you are seeking from therapy while leaving your message for me!
