About My Clients
I do my best work with individuals at the intersection of queer and neurodivergent. I utilize lived experience as a late-diagnosed ADHDer, and have had success working with self-diagnosed or late diagnosed Autistic folx. I enjoy helping clients unpack and grow through their family of origin issues, those who have experienced oppression and trauma, and people who are deconstructing their faith and healing from religious abuse and trauma.
My Background and Approach
I graduated with my master's from Midwestern State in 2020. I also have a bachelors in Sociology and a certificate in Substance Abuse Studies. I'm a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I'm a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, a neurodivergent person, and live my life in a larger (fat) body. I've been on my own mental health journey for many years and will likely utilize my own therapist and supervision for the duration of my career - thus far I have found it to be an amazing way to grow in my personal and professional life. I have experience with mandated substance use probation and CPS clients, parenting counseling, queer teens and young adults, religious trauma, disability, and mood disorders. I am passionate about working with Autistic, Trans, and Queer youth and adults.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that finding compassion for oneself and developing acceptance for one's humanity are key practices for developing a balanced life. Through my own therapy, I learned the hold shame and perfectionism had on my life and I was able to expose my darkest parts in a safe place. I also learned to accept life's dualities. My personal therapy experience was life-altering and it is a joy and a privilege to offer that to others. I am a proud bisexual woman and continually strive to grow in my practice of anti-racism, social justice and advocacy. If you are looking for a counselor who is open, gentle, and utilizes humor and joy, it sounds like we could be a good fit! Call and ask to set up an initial appointment with me.
