Approach

I combine traditional talk therapy with support, tools, and accommodations to help you navigate neurodivergence, queerness, disability, and other marginalized identities in a world that often was not designed with us in mind. Therapy with me isn’t about forcing yourself to fit into systems that cause harm — it’s about building insight, skills, and self-trust while honoring your capacity, needs, and lived reality.

​

Depending on your goals, our work might include processing experiences of trauma or oppression, exploring identity, unlearning internalized stigma, strengthening relationships, developing nervous system regulation tools, building executive functioning supports, or cultivating self-compassion. I approach therapy as collaborative and adaptable — we move at your pace, and we adjust the process so it works for you rather than expecting you to conform to rigid therapeutic norms.

 

My approach is rooted in a social-justice, anti-oppressive, and trauma-informed lens. I draw from the social model of disability, recognizing that many of the struggles neurodivergent and disabled people face are not inherent flaws, but the result of systemic barriers, ableism, and exclusion. Rather than pathologizing difference, I aim to contextualize distress within broader social systems while supporting you in developing strategies for survival, resistance, and meaningful change.

​

I understand that mental health does not exist in a vacuum. Racism, ableism, transphobia, homophobia, fatphobia, classism, and other forms of systemic oppression profoundly shape our sense of safety, identity, and experience. Therapy can be a space to name these realities, grieve their impact, and reconnect with your agency and resilience.

​

It also means welcoming stimming, offering alternative communication styles, building in sensory and pacing accommodations, honoring pronouns and names, respecting relationship structures, and supporting your right to define your own body and identity. Above all, I believe therapy should feel like a space where you do not have to shrink, mask, or explain your existence. My goal is to support you in building a life that feels sustainable, connected, and aligned with who you are — not who the world expects you to be.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.​

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 323-577-4288.
