Trauma and Neurodiversity-Affirming Therapy for Adults
I am a trauma specialist dedicated to providing personalized, neurodiversity-affirming therapy for adults throughout California. With over 15 years of experience in mental health, I focus on trauma, autism, ADHD, and EMDR therapy, tailoring sessions to honor each clients unique identity and strengths. My practice integrates evidence-based methods like CBT, somatic therapies, and mindfulness, while prioritizing client autonomy and self-discovery. As a neurodivergent therapist myself, I deeply understand the challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals and strive to create a safe, inclusive space for all clients.My approach emphasizes collaboration, empowerment, and building resilience, ensuring therapy aligns with each persons values and goals. I am committed to ongoing professional growth, maintaining licenses as an LMFT and LPCC, and staying informed on trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming practices. My goal is to support clients in healing from trauma, embracing their authentic selves, and creating meaningful, fulfilling lives.
