I am a queer, AuDHD (Autistic ADHD) non-binary person who finds fulfillment in working with others on being connected to emotions, build more restful and gentle lives, and process grief, pain, and scary parts of life. My experience as being an undiagnosed Autistic person until adulthood has shaped my practice as a therapist.
I experienced being labeled as overly anxious and overthinking in school and therapy instead of receiving the support I needed as an Autistic person. Because of my experience, I approach managing daily stress, emotional regulation and self care with the understanding an Autism diagnosis provides to be able to be kinder to our selves and find solutions that work! I love the beautiful human experience that overlaps with neurodivergence and queerness and want therapy to be a safe to find yourself and build confidence.
In therapy, questions, cussing, laughter, grief, frustration, talking about sex, and time to think are all welcomed and encouraged! I will be right there with you to support verbal processing, figuring out ways to cope and manage life, and to create space for emotions, even when they aren’t clear.
I am sex positive, 2SLGBTQIA+ affirming, kink/BDSM positive, sex work positive, and polyamorous/ENM positive. I specifically enjoy working with clients about gender and sexuality exploration and transitions. I received my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and certificate in Gender Affirming Clinical Practice from Antioch University.
In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, dancing, and going to local art markets. I also enjoy spending time with my chosen family, dogs and cats outside, or watching a movie. My special interests are dopamine decor, animals (cats, dogs and butterflies right now) and self care for autistic people!
