Wish the important people in your life could really hear you? An experienced therapist who can see all sides can be just what is needed to untangle old knots. I work with people of all sexual and gender orientations. I help people in all kinds of relationships - romantic, parent/child, sibling, friends, and all ways of structuring their lives together - monogamous, open, polyamorous, platonic. I have years of experience supporting both the neurotypical and neurodivergent communities, and I especially enjoy working with couples who might have differing neurotypes, or otherwise have trouble understanding each other.
One of my areas of expertise is in working with parents who are finding ways to give their neurodivergent children the best possible support - from figuring out educational options, including support for secular homeschooling and unschooling, to options for gentle parenting and attachment oriented childrearing.
I am a supportive and compassionate listener, and facilitate a therapy relationship in which you can tell your truth and find a way forward. Help is available, no matter how long you've struggled or how impossible your situation seems. My teletherapy practice makes therapy easily accessible and safe.
