I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is queer and autistic/ADHD. I love the arts and spirituality, and enjoy working with kids and young adults the most. The populations I specialize working with include individuals identifying as non-manogomous, neurodivergent, trans/queer, and most other alt/weird/unique/geeky/nerdy folx. Mindfulness is an important aspect of therapy for my practice, as is creating a therapeutic environment that feels safe for marginalized groups.
I utilize non directive child led play therapy for kids (and some adults too!), and typically utilize a wholistic approach for adult therapy. Mindfulness, somatic work, and other non-verbal therapy techniques are my favorite, I also am certified in expressive arts therapy. I usually work with people where they feel comfortable and with what methods speak to them the most.
I tend to be curious and non-judgemental about all sorts of people, I don't care so much about what crazy problems you have, but more about how it's impacting you and what big feelings your struggling with. First sessions are typically intakes where I gather as much information as possible about you, and share info about what therapy might look like.
