I am an autistic mental health therapist, specializing in complex trauma and neurodiversity. At this time I only have a limited online private practice managed through the Alma platform. You can also work with me through my full time job at Included Health.
I became a therapist because I was driven to understand the world that I live in and the people around me, and also myself. Living in this world can be brutal, especially if you are neurodivergent! I was always interested in autism, but didn’t get the validation that I was autistic myself until I was 43 and already a mental health counselor. That helped to make sense of a lot. While I do not offer formal testing services, I am happy to discus neurodiversity and to validate your experiences. You know yourself better than anyone else.
I have worked with all ages and many settings from Head Start to assisted living, community counseling, residential treatment, ER crisis, and more. My preferred population is anyone who wants to learn about themselves and to heal.
