As a neurodivergent clinical therapist and speaker, I specialize in understanding, supporting, and explaining adult neurodiversity. I am passionate about igniting curiosity and teaching people to understand the reality of neurodiversity from a strengths-based perspective. I help people understand all the different ways their neurodiversity impacts them and how to proactively support themselves to create the life they want. I didn't learn to understand my neurodivergence until my early 30's, but learning to lean in and proactively support myself and my loved ones has led to such amazing growth and change in every aspect of my life. Now, my team and I help others do the same through education, problem-solving and solution-focused coaching, and therapy. My specialization is in high-masking neurodiversity, especially in females and non-traditional presentations. I am privileged to know that the reality of neurodiversity is so much more beautifully complex and varied than anyone gave it credit for, and I am dedicated to supporting individuals and organizations in their pursuits to understand and embrace the inherent beauty and value in neurodiversity.
In my role as a therapist and coach, I am privileged to play a pivotal role in helping adults navigate and embrace neurodiversity, whether it's their own or that of a loved one. My expertise allows me to provide crucial guidance and support, empowering individuals to recognize their strengths and manage any challenges associated with their neurodiversity. I always look at neurodiversity through a strengths-based perspective, and I always strive to validate and support each individual journey as I teach them to navigate the world of neurodiversity.
As an organizational consultant and neurodiversity speaker, I collaborate with organizations and teach them to foster neuro-inclusive workplaces. I am passionate about helping companies recognize and leverage the unique talents and perspectives that neurodivergent employees bring to the table. Together, we strive to create a workplace where neurodiversity is just as commonly understood and supported as neurotypicality. I am proud to work as a speaker and help amplify neurodivergent voices. I am passionate about redefining awareness and understanding of neurodiversity within organizational settings. By sharing insights and best practices, I am privileged to advocate for the importance of embracing diversity, equity, and neuro-inclusion.
Neurodiversity Services
Therapy is a longer-term relationship aimed at exploring, understanding, reprocessing, and healing from our past traumas. Equine therapy weaves horses into the helping relationship.
Coaching is a short-term, solution-focused relationship that focuses more on the here and now and creating the life you want. It aims to identify problem behaviors, strengths, and barriers and actively help you set and achieve goals and create change.
Equine groups will work on social skills, problem solving, understanding emotions,self-care, communication, executive functioning, horsemanship, and more. We will have a new group starting every 6 weeks.
I work to collaborate and create neuro-inclusive environments, strengths-based practices, and a proactive understanding of neurodiversity.
