What would be important for someone to know about working with you?
This is a space where you don’t have to edit yourself. Whatever’s present — the tangled thoughts, the loud feelings, the quiet parts you’re still trying to understand — it’s all welcome here. You don’t need to have it figured out. You don’t have to filter, shrink, or perform here.

Work HistoryMy background includes working with children and adolescents on the autism spectrum in a community-based summer program. I’ve also gained valuable experience in residential treatment settings, supporting both adolescents and adults navigating eating disorders. Additionally, I spent time as an au pair for a neurodivergent family of four in England — an experience that deepened my understanding of neurodiversity within family systems. Outside of clinical spaces, I stay connected to my community through my work at a small, local coffee shop, where I find joy in everyday acts of service and connection.
