A Note on Neurodiversity

As a neurodiverse person, and a parent of neurodiverse children, I especially enjoy working with clients who are neurodivergent or even suspect they are.  I am an Autism Spectrum Disorder Certified Clinical Specialist. I believe that neurodiversity should be celebrated and enjoy tailoring the therapy experience to be accessible for all minds.  That said, being neurodiverse is not without its challenges, and I love to problem-solve ways to address these challenges while still honoring a person’s neurodiversity.

A Note on Privilege and Cultural Competency

As a white, cisgender, heterosexual, middle income female, I am continually aware of the many privileges assigned to my identities.  I strive to engage in ongoing introspection and education to increase my cultural competence.  Above all, I view clients as the experts on their own experience with privilege, discrimination, and trauma that they have experienced as a result of their identities. My goal is to join with you in making meaning out of your unique experience with identity.  I support racial justice, the LGBTQ+ community, indigenous justice, reproductive rights, and the decriminalization of sex work.
