THERAPEUTIC STYLE
WHAT TO EXPECT
-
We'll work together to understand how you're feeling rather than me assuming.
-
I'll carry the burden of communication. That means you don't need to worry about going on tangents or using the "right words", some the most insightful thoughts come out when people aren't worried about making sense.
-
I'll value your unique neurotype, background, and perspective.
-
We'll figure out how you can be the best version of yourself while also setting realistic expectations so you don't end up overwhelmed.
THERAPEUTIC MODALITIES
Neurodivergent Affirming
Having a neurodivergent affirming practice means acknowledging differences and creating a plan that works for your rather than changing you to adapt to a neurotypical world.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the leading evidence-based practices in the field. CBT focuses on exploring your thought patterns to better understand your reactions and emotional responses.
Somatic
By deepening your understanding of your body's unique signals and sensory needs, we'll work on identifying how you're feeling and what you need before it becomes overwhelming.
Acceptance and Committment Therapy (ACT)
While changing our thought patterns can help, sometimes life is hard and no amount of reframing will change that. ACT focuses on accepting thoughts and feelings without judgment when things are uncomfortable while committing to actions aligned with your values.
Art-based
For people wanting to explore creative I love using art as a non-verbal way to communicate feelings, explore emotions, and gain insights into your experiences.
Trauma-informed
Trauma-informed care means looking at how your mind and body respond to traumatic and/or oppressive experiences. I work with all types of trauma and highlight the effects of generational trauma.
