My Story.
—
As a neurodiverse person, I am intimately familiar with the challenges associated with growing up and living within a community that is only just becoming more aware of invisible disabilities. Navigating the world that is built in a way that does not celebrate differences can be isolating, confusing and presents with its own unique set of challenges.
It is my hope that in my practice as a therapist that I help children to feel accepted and celebrated for who they are, and support their families to view the world through their eyes in a manner that invites connection and understanding.
