WHO I WORK WITH:

  • Couples who have recently identified neurodiversity in their relationship (via self-identification or formal diagnosis) who are ready to cultivate new patterns and strategies utilizing a neurodiversity lens

​​

  • Individuals exploring or newly understanding their own neurodivergence who want to expand their ability to identify and honor their needs and preferences within existing relationships

​​

  • Spouses of autistic adults who want to better understand the unique dynamics in their relationship and build new tools for communicating and relating

​​

  • Adult children of (unnamed) autistic parents who want to feel more oriented to their past family experiences as well as shift how these experiences affect them in the present

​​

  • Emerging and fully licensed clinicians who desire a nurturing mentor and safe sounding board to support their continued professional development

​​

  • Therapists seeking additional knowledge and case consultation related to couples therapy (generally) or neurodiverse relationship therapy

​​

  • ​Anyone who wants to develop more self-compassion and emotional awareness, especially as a counterbalance to long-standing patterns of people pleasing, performing/achieving, and/or perfectionism
