I specialize in working with ADHD and trauma, whether it is late-diagnosed or late-identified, I am passionate about working with the neurodivergent community. Being a neurodivergent and queer therapist, I understand how the world around us can be limiting and judgmental and is not built to our strengths. I hope to work with my clients to help them build self-compassion and I use a strength-based approach to create collaborative coping strategies for my clients.
With trauma and abuse, there are many layers to how it impacts us. Our relationships with ourselves and others are changed, and it can feel isolating at times. Narcissistic abuse is often described as distressing and highly confusing. I strive to create an environment where you are validated and seen. In treatment with me, your trauma will always be taken seriously. Our sense of identity is shifted through all forms of abuse, but therapy is a space to be heard and have your experience validated. I use a trauma-informed framework that incorporates Emotion-Focused Therapy with a poly-vagal lens. Polyvagal theory helps us understand our reaction to trauma or abuse as a way to find safety.
Through understanding what we need to feel safe, and how we can provide that for ourselves or communicate those needs to others, we can begin healing.
