About My Clients

I specialize in working with the queer and neurodivergent communities and come from a place of lived experience within those communities. Additionally, I am ethical non-monogamy and polyamory affirming and love working with those populations!

My Background and Approach

I use a person-centered, humanistic, social-justice oriented and eclectic approach pulling from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Existential Therapy and more. I am also trauma-informed and well aware of the trauma that comes just from existing in the niche communities that I serve. I believe that my clients and I are fellow-travelers through life, and strive to make my office a safe place where clients can be their fully authentic selves.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I personally believe in building a world that is safe and tolerant. The main issues I am passionate are, usurpingly, queer and trans rights and disability rights. I am also extremely passionate about the concept of ethical non-monogamy and polyamory, and the fact that love is not possessive or finite, and does not have to be monogamous to be serious or valid (although monogamy is obviously also a valid choice!). I also have an extreme passion for increasing education on ADHD and autism, especially less common presentations, and making those diagnoses more accessible- as well as increasing the accessibility of neurodiversity affirming treatment. This comes from my own lived experience as an 'AuDHD'er" who was not diagnosed until adulthood. On that note, I am a firm believer that my lived experience in the queer and neurodivergent communities is the most important tool I have to provided a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients to discuss these aspects of themselves.
