they/them
Florida in-person and online. South Carolina online only.
I work with possible autistic adults that are exploring an autistic diagnosis (and/or ADHD diagnosis). They are often having issues with depression, anxiety, burnout, masking, disassociation, anger issues, or isolation. I work with them collaboratively on these issues as well as on moving toward acceptance and a secure identity. I offer online sessions and in-person counseling in Florida, while I offer online counseling in South Carolina. Lastly, I can see clients internationally where allowed by their present country.
About Me and How I Work
When I show up in the therapy room, I prefer to show up authentically and bring as much of myself to the session as possible, while still making the process all about your situation and struggles. I also strive to be warm and grounded in my own strength while we walk through your world.
I know various therapeutic modalities like Internal Family Systems and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy , but my goal is to co-create a plan with you that best fits who you are right now as I meet you. Motivation is a huge part of success. So, I try to pivot toward where the motivation is and what kind of process will work well with that.
Qualifications and Professional Experience
I went to school at the University of Florida and studied both mental health counseling and marriage and family therapy. I have a strong background in internal family systems, acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. I have used all of these personally in my own process, which helps me to have a deeper connection to what it feels like for clients going through the process. I also work with relationships, which helps to inform my therapy process with individuals that struggle with connections in their life. I have been practicing counseling for six years, and I keep myself connected to growing as a therapist through three consultation groups. I am an active member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, and I protect my clients through CPH insurance.
