Associate Therapist / APCC 11788
I help newly (self) diagnosed AuDHD'ers find connection with self and others through radical self-exploration.
As a queer neurodivergent human, much of my life has felt like an attempt to make electronic music in a world that continues to prioritize classical. Landing on the labels AuDHD and polyamorous allowed me to see myself for the first time as something separate from my struggles because the language offered me a chance to unpack ablism and toxic compulsory monogamy in a productive way, both for myself and my relationships. I wasn’t “unorganized”, I was focused on everything at once in a way that makes me a great listener. I didn’t “have a difficulty focusing”, I was focused on what fascinated me like reading and drawing and creating art which in my life has wholly allowed me to find and feel my feelings. I wasn’t “struggling to sit still”, I was using my body to somatically self-regulate and sometimes just to experience joy! I didn’t “get obsessed with things”, I was hugely passionate about very specific things like sims, fashion design/ sewing, and human sexuality, all of which deeply inform my therapeutic approach/ lens and continue to be “special interests” that allow me to explore patterns in a serious but playful way.
