My experience has always been with the neurodivergent population, specifically the women like myself that were too high masking to be seen, yet always felt different. If you are silently struggling to live up to your potential or feeling like you don't know how to be your authentic self, I get it. I don't take the expert role, rather help you uncover your happiest self through acceptance and accommodation. Two important challenges neurodivergent women struggle with.

l take an eclectic approach to therapy by combining person centered therapy, CBT, DBT informed, IFS informed and somatic experiencing to create a mind body connection so many of us neurocomplex individuals struggle with. While ultimately those that I work with want to become authentic and experience emotional freedom, often complex trauma comes along for the ride. The combination of therapy tools simultaneously address these issues as well.

I completed my undergrad with University of Phoenix and my Master in Christian Counseling at Houston Baptist University in Houston, TX in 2020. While I do have the niche ability to practice Christian counseling, my special interest is in deconstructing from religious trauma.

In addition to viewing life and therapy through an ADHD and ASD lens, I became certified in 2024 to assess and evaluate these conditions. I currently only evaluate adults and can accommodate a therapeutic model and traditional model. Therapeutic assessment involves 6-8 sessions and is relationship based for those looking for personal answers and a less intense assessment experience than traditional testing. Traditional evaluation involves extended appointments over 3-4 days and is best for those looking for a hard and fast diagnosis to take to other medical providers, schools, work, etc.

Whatever aspect of neurodiversity you are dealing with, you are not alone and you do not have to stay stuck there. Together we will create the strategies that help you become your authentic self and create a life you love.

“Perhaps the biggest mistake I made in the past was that I believed love was about finding the right person. In reality, love is about becoming the right person. Don’t look for the person you want to spend your life with. Become the person you want to spend your life with.” Neil Strauss

I believe in you, and I’m excited to explore your dreams, interests, skills, strengths, values, successes, and personal uniqueness. I meet you where you’re at right now, and together we can decide what healing looks like.

We may explore mindfulness, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, trauma work including psychoeducation about the effects of trauma on the body, attachment theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and ACT.

With therapy, you get what you put in. It isn’t easy, and I’m here to show you that you’re safe in our therapeutic relationship and during the time we spend together.

Education and lived experience:

I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree from Georgia State University and a Master of Social Work degree from Portland State University. I’m registered with the Oregon Board of Licensed Social Workers (BLSW) as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).

I agree to abide by the National Association of Social Workers Code of Ethics, and the Oregon BLSW Social Work Laws and Rules. I have expertise in DBT, Motivational Interviewing (MI), ADHD treatment, and trauma treatment frameworks including somatic interventions. I have a strong equity lens and continue to learn how I can best serve everyone at intersections of race, ethnicity, economic status, spirituality, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, and/or disability.

I have experience working alongside adults who face the challenges of Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, personality disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression, and more. Some of my personal lived experiences that inform my approach include direct trauma and family trauma related to mental health challenges, poverty, substance use, abandonment, grief and loss, and emotional and physical abuse.
