Question 1

Are your sessions sensory-friendly?

Accepted Answer

Yes, my sessions are sensory friendly. For lighting, I have a large window in my office that provides natural light. We can always adjust the blinds to help you feel more comfortable. I also have lamps that provide soft ambient lighting.

I provide fidgets you are welcome to use while in session. I regularly sanitize them. You are also welcome to bring noise cancelling headphones, a comfort blanket, or whatever would help you feel more comfortable in session.

Being neurodiverse myself, you'll likely notice me fidgeting with something in my hands to help me focus on you.

Question 2

Why do you mainly work with people who have autism or ADHD?

Accepted Answer

Research has shown that thing most associated with healing and improvement in therapy is the quality of relationship you have with your therapist. Research has also shown that people who are neurodiverse connect best with other people who are neurodiverse. Being neurodiverse myself, I’ve found that I best hep people who are neurodiverse.

If you aren't neurodiverse, but really want to work with me, reach out for a free consult, and we can figure it out during that call.

Question 3

Do I need an official autism/ADHD diagnosis to work with you?

Accepted Answer

No. An official ADHD or Autism diagnosis is not required to work with me. Self-diagnosed folks are welcome too! 😊

The reason I specialize in working with people is because I’ve found I connect with and best help people who have autism, ADHD, or both.

Question 4

Are pets allowed to join the session?

Accepted Answer

I love animals. But unfortunately, pets are not allowed, unless they are registered as official service animals. If you’d like to do therapy with your pet nearby, we can always do sessions virtually.

Question 5

Is your practice a safe and inclusive space?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming 🌈 and a safe space. I also support immigrants 🌎 and will keep your status confidential if you are undocumented.
