Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed in a neurotypical world? Does everything feel harder than ever? I specialize in working with clients exploring neurodivergence, autism, "giftedness", creativity, ADHD, bipolar, queerness, relationships, perfectionism, gender, anxiety, and depression. I utilize an eclectic style tailored to each client, with experience in creating lasting, meaningful changes for folks who have previously had difficult therapeutic experiences or are new to therapy. I create a space that helps my clients feel excited to come to therapy, a place where they feel safe to express themselves and gain self-love. There is no one-size-fits-all approach with my clientele, and I have gotten feedback from clients about how refreshing it is to be approached with an exploration of all the facets of their identity and experiences, not just their diagnosis. While establishing a trusting relationship, I check in with clients to help them guide building shared language and understanding together. I pride myself in understanding my clients deeply and meaningfully, so they can hear insights about themselves and be challenged in ways that have not already been offered to them in their lives. I find that clients feel comfortable to explore parts of themselves that they may have not previously touched in other therapeutic settings. It brings me a deep sense of joy to watch clients unmask and feel the freedom to be themselves in this complex world. I can see that this world for many is harder to cope with than it has ever been, and that sometimes therapists do more harm than good due to old, outdated ways of approaching clients. I became a therapist because I wanted to help the field of psychology progress. With my colleagues at Effective Artistry, I strive to advance therapy to meet the needs of neurodivergent clients. I listen closely to the way clients describe themselves, and am able to track nuances in language that help clients see themselves from new perspectives. I imagine us all as gems with many facets that can be turned at different angles, showing a multiplicity of details, yet we are still one magical whole. My approach to my diverse clientele is to come to therapy with an open heart, humbled knowing that I cannot possibly know everything. The strength of the relationships I make with clients helps them communicate aspects of themselves that they may have not previously shared with other people, including therapists.
