Frequently Asked Questions

  • I currently provide virtual therapy for adults located anywhere in Washington State.

  • I work primarily with neurodivergent, queer, gender-expansive, and highly sensitive adults. Many of my clients are navigating ADHD, identity exploration, relationships, burnout, life transitions, masking, and the experience of feeling different in a world that often misunderstands difference.

  • I use the term neuroqueer in the way autistic scholar Nick Walker describes it: not simply as an identity, but as a practice. Neuroqueering means questioning assumptions about what is considered normal and creating space for different ways of thinking, feeling, communicating, relating, learning, and belonging.

    For me, neuroqueering is less about fitting people into categories and more about expanding what it means to be human. You do not need to identify as neuroqueer to work with me. Many of my clients simply find themselves wondering whether the ways they’ve been taught to live actually fit who they are.

  • Neurodivergent is an umbrella term for people whose brains work differently from what is considered typical. It includes many experiences, including ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and other differences in attention, learning, communication, sensory processing, and cognition.

    Being neurodivergent is not simply about having challenges. It is about recognizing that there is more than one way for a human brain to work. Many difficulties arise not because something is wrong with the person, but because their needs, strengths, and ways of being are often misunderstood or unsupported.

  • I am currently accepting new private pay clients and clients with Premera insurance. I am in the process of transitioning out of network with all other insurance providers. Please contact me for current rates and availability.

  • Complete the contact form and tell me a little about what brings you here. I’ll reach out to schedule a free 15-minute consultation so we can determine whether we’re a good fit.

  • That’s okay. Many people reach out feeling uncertain. The consultation is simply a conversation. You don’t need to have the right words or know exactly what you need. We can start there.

  • Therapy with me tends to be collaborative, relational, and conversational. I bring curiosity, humor, and authenticity to the work. Together we explore patterns, relationships, identity, and the contexts that shape our lives.

  • My work is relational, existential, expressive, and experiential. Rather than focusing solely on symptom reduction, we explore patterns, relationships, identity, meaning, and the contexts that shape your experience.

  • Yes. I have decades of experience working alongside neurodivergent individuals and families. My approach is affirming rather than pathologizing and recognizes both the strengths and challenges that can accompany neurodivergence.

  • Yes. I provide affirming care for queer, transgender, nonbinary, gender-expansive, and questioning individuals.

  • Yes. While my clinical practice is currently focused primarily on adults, I continue to work with children, teens, and families. I have decades of experience supporting neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, and gender-expansive youth and the adults who care for them. I also offer parent consultation, workshops, and community-based programs through Different On Purpose.

  • Yes. I work with couples and consensually non-monogamous relationships, including polycules. Therapy can provide space to explore communication, boundaries, connection, identity, and relationship dynamics.

  • No. Many people come to therapy because they are curious about patterns they notice in themselves, are questioning whether they may be neurodivergent, or simply want support navigating life, relationships, identity, burnout, or stress. A formal diagnosis is not required.
