As someone who is personally neurodivergent and trauma recovering, I have a deep connection to this work. I love supporting others in their journeys of peace finding, and I have a lot of gratitude for being able to learn from the folks I support. Therapy can be really scary for a lot of people, especially those of us who have been judged, unwelcome, or harmed by others. This is why the therapy space I aim to create with you prioritizes acceptance, openness, and comfortability. Whether we're sitting attentively in chairs working on deep processing or hanging out on the floor with some snacks and coloring books, the therapy we do together adapts to what your system needs in order to feel secure. My style is direct, honest, engaged, warm, and empathetic. I love working with folks navigating trauma, ADHD, autism, anxiety, borderline personality disorder/complex-PTSD, and other neurodiversity. If you're feeling alone, scared to be yourself or even unsure of who you really are, or stuck in rigid patterns that aren't serving you anymore, I can offer you a soft landing to explore these challenges with someone who can relate. I can work with folks in-person in Fort Collins, CO or virtually if they're in the state of Oregon or Colorado.

Three goals I aim for as a therapist are to: 1. Honor your unique experience. Your lived experience matters. I work with you to identify your unique needs, preferences, and goals. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, social challenges, reactivity to triggers, or just navigating the world as a neurodiverse individual, my goal is to create a tailored approach that works for you. 2. Focus on your strengths. I take a strengths-based approach, highlighting the ways your brain works in its own beautiful, creative, and insightful ways. We will explore how you can use your strengths to navigate the world around you. 3. Provide a safe, non-judgmental space. As a neurodivergent therapist, I understand the importance of a space where you feel truly seen and heard. You won’t have to explain yourself here or worry about me making assumptions about how you should think, feel, or behave.

Children: I've been working with children and adolescents in professional/academic roles for 8 years including work as an Autism Spectrum Treatment Aide, respite provider, special education instructional aid, social skills group leader undergraduate intern, special education classroom assistant undergraduate intern, children's grief camp counselor undergraduate intern, and child group counseling graduate intern. Adults: I practiced for nonprofit and for-profit counseling agencies for three years where I worked with folks of a wide range of ages, genders, and presenting concerns, particularly concerns related to trauma, neurodivergence, anxiety, LGBTQ+ struggles, and family/relationship issues. Private practice: I've been running my practice for over two years specializing in trauma and neurodiversity.
