As someone who is LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent, I use a unique blend of lived experiences with evidence-based practices to support my clients.
As a therapist, my specialty lies in fostering radical candor to create a safe therapeutic space where clients feel empowered to embrace authenticity, explore their identities, and address challenges. As someone who is LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent (autistic and ADHD), I use a unique blend of lived experiences with evidence-based practices to support my clients. If you are seeking a therapist who will meet you with empathy, respect, and an open heart, I invite you to reach out to me. Together, we’ll work to address any obstacles that might be hindering your path to well-being. We'll also explore what it means to walk in your shoes—no matter how you might identify, be it LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, or otherwise.
