About
I have decades of experience and extensive training in trauma, substance abuse, ADHD, depression, and anxiety. I have a wealth of knowledge about the legal, school, and healthcare systems. I am comfortable working with people from every walk of life, including those who are people of color, disabled, and/or who identify as LGBTQ+. I specialize in working with adolescents and have worked with numerous trauma survivors. Mental health issues are often the direct result, not of individual responses to stress, but a reaction to a variety of societal ills - racism, homophobia and transphobia, ableism, economic inequality, etc. As an AuDHD individual, I embrace neurodivergence as an important part of my identity and work to educate other professionals about the harm of treating being autistic as a disorder that needs to be “cured”. I can help neurodivergent folks learn how to create spaces and processes that work for their needs. My diverse experience makes me uniquely qualified to treat clients from every background. I am able to see the individual as a whole person, not as their diagnosis. FYI: Returning citizens may qualify to be seen for low/no cost.
