As a kid, I oftentimes got into trouble in school for talking out-of-turn or focusing on something I wasn't supposed to be focusing on. After a particular incident, I had a teacher approach me with understanding rather than the usual punishment, and I began to learn how important it is to take time to understand and accommodate our differences rather than trying to fit everyone into a single box. I have always naturally gravitated towards neurodivergent friends and communities, and I think that our differences make us unique and life so much more interesting! One of my first jobs out of college was working with kids on the spectrum, and I also completed part of my internship at the Strategic Alternative Learning Techniques (SALT) Center at the University of Arizona, working with students with a history of developmental disabilities. While completing assessments for disadvantaged families during internship, I found it incredibly rewarding to help clients reduce internalized stigma and better understand their executive and social functioning strengths and weaknesses, while learning to accept themselves for who they are. I am confident that we can work together to help you better understand your unique brain and how we can improve your functioning and sense of self in today's complex world.

I truly believe that our unique differences are what makes life interesting. I also know how powerful it is to develop a loving and accepting internal narrative. My approach in life and as a provider is to foster this loving and accepting narrative in you as well. Therefore, I work hard to understand each client and your unique background, neuro-functioning, cultural factors, etc. My goal is to help you know yourself better and to feel more confident being yourself!
