Some of my favorite populations include Neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ people — especially within the common overlap. I am a client-centered provider who believes in collaboration and respecting your individuality. You are the expert in your experience and I am here to help you on your journey with feedback, guidance, perspective, skill-building, and other tools that may be useful along the way. Being comfortable with the relationship is key to the success of therapy and I welcome your input and feedback on ways we can best work together!
