I work the most with neurodivergent clients, specifically those who are newly diagnosed or on their neurodivergent discovery journey. My main goals are to aid my clients in navigating their neurodivergence, reducing shame around symptoms/behaviors, and learning how to better live in a world that was not created for them. I was in therapy for many years deconstructing shame and struggles related to my own neurodivergence and I believe in this work.
I use various approaches in my practice, from person-centered therapy to DBT, CBT, Narrative, and Emotion Focused Therapy. I value tailoring treatment to my client's specific needs and circumstances. I believe therapy is a two-way street --- the client is in charge of their healing and the therapist acts as a facilitator and guide to aid the client on their healing journey.
During the first session, clients should expect an intake session with lots of education surrounding policies, how sessions will go, and questions about their needs and background. My clients are in charge of their goals --- I will create generic goals and work with my clients to tailor them to their unique needs and experiences.
