We Heal in Community
Neurodivergent Group every other Thursday from 6-7:30pm
ADHD, Autism, Gifted, Pathological Demand Avoidance? I work with people and families sorting through the roots of their emotional challenges. I am passionate about exploring the impacts of neurodivergence while healing trauma. I deeply understand the intersection of neurodiversity, disability and therapy to compassionately provide effective help to people who might not see results from typical therapy.
Trauma focused experiential therapies, such as psychodrama, are my favorite ways to help clients embody change instead of simply talking about it. These methods bring play, imagination and creativity back into the forefront of lives. My education is in the Depth and Jungian tradition of psychology, which seeks wisdom at the root of issues to inspire meaningful change.
I have a long history of working with highly sensitive people and families. I love exploring neurodivergent trauma with those who experience Autism and/or ADHD. My thesis explored Pathological Demand Avoidance (or persistent drive for autonomy) and its impact on romantic couple attachment. I am neurodiversity affirming and AuDHD myself. I am part of the LGBTQIA+ community, and use an anti oppression lens in my work.
