| español My work focuses on supporting the mental health of adults with various presentations of neurodiversity, like Autism, ADHD, Obsessive Compulsive, Traumatic Brain Injuries, Down's Syndrome, Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities. You might be looking for someone to help you work on "adulting." You may be dealing with the stress of becoming independent. You want to work through the anxiety and depression from living in a world that isn't built for people like us. We can work together on to figure out your values. You and I will create goals towards finding your own happiness and feeling powerful.

I primarily use ACT, DBT, and MI modalities to support trauma-informed mental health developments. Additionally, I implement evidence-based accommodations for clients with intellectual and developmental differences including visual, TEACCH, structural, and psychoeducational supports.
If you're looking for someone to help you feel empowered and ready to live your true authentic self - with all your stims, thinking that others find "weird," and sensory integration activities - then I'm the person to help you! I'm looking forward to receiving your call so we can talk about how to help you work on finding your happy place.
