Welcome

It’s difficult to navigate a society dominated by cisheteronormativity, white supremacy, ableism, and neuronormative expectations. It can be challenging to feel seen and heard by individuals who have a limited perspective of gender, queerness and neurodivergence. Given my queer identities and lived experience as a late-realized autistic person, I strive to cultivate a compassionate support space as an AuDHD peer support coach for those seeking growth and self-understanding. I am also a gender doula in training, under the guidance of Elias Lawliet. As a licensed therapist, I have 7 years of experience in supporting queer, trans, and gender expansive folx. As an aspiring gender doula, I aim to expand my tools for supporting folx seeking to transform their relationship to gender, in ways that are divested from the current structure of the mental health industrial complex and failing institutions.

Additionally, I have experience in working with disabled individuals and those living with chronic pain/illness. I collaboratively work with clients to create a space to process and receive validation around their own experience of disability.

I work from a social justice orientation and I am primarily concerned with the client’s sense of safety and validation regarding issues of race, gender, sexuality, neurodiversity, and other key identity factors.

My Background & Training

I have been serving neurodivergent and gender-expansive communities since 2019.

  • I began my professional career as a therapist in community mental health in Oregon

  • I opened a solo private practice in Texas in 2021

  • I currently continue to practice as a licensed therapist for residents of Oregon, under a separate therapy practice

While my coaching work is not therapy, it is deeply informed by:

  • Years of clinical training and experience

  • Ongoing education in neuro-affirming and gender/queer-affirming care

  • Lived experience within the communities I serve

I bring this knowledge into coaching while maintaining clear ethical and professional boundaries around scope of practice.

My Philosophy

I am an AuDHD, trans/queer, disabled peer who has known burnout from decades of masking, the exhaustion of shutdowns and meltdowns dismissed as failure, and the erasure that comes from medical gatekeeping. I know the messy, non-linear work of rebuilding a nervous system fractured by a lifetime of chronic stress and unmet needs.

My work as an autistic peer support coach is grounded in lived experience, neuroqueer praxis, and deep analysis about how systems of oppression shape our lives. You are the expert of your experience. I am not here to diagnose, analyze, or ‘fix’ you, nor do I see neurodivergence as a problem to be solved. This is a collaborative space where your intuition and curiosity leads. I'm here to support your agency and walk alongside you, not to prescribe a path or tell you what you 'should' do.

Community, Consultation, and Care

I am a member of an autistic peer support coaching collective, alongside other professionals dedicated to supporting AuDHDers in ways that are explicitly neurodivergent-informed and empowering.

I also regularly consult with transgender and gender-expansive peers and professionals to ensure that my work remains affirming, ethical, and responsive, especially given the evolving socio-political climate impacting our communities in 2026 and beyond.

My goal is to offer support that is not only affirming, but also grounded, thoughtful, and attentive to safety and autonomy.

Peer Support Coaching

This is peer support coaching, not therapy or mental health treatment. It’s a good fit for people who are not looking to work on urgent mental health concerns, and who want support with understanding themselves, their neurodivergent needs, cultivating skills and inner resourcing, and moving toward goals in a practical, compassionate way.

I offer AuDHD peer support for people who are:

  • Curious about neurodivergence, neuroqueering, autism, adhd

  • Late diagnosed or self-identified

  • Or have known for a long time and want support at a deeper or different level

As a peer, I bring lived experience along with neurodivergent-informed training, neuroqueer praxis, and supportive tools. You are the expert on your own life. My role is to offer shared language, perspective, and strategies that many autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD people find useful.

Sessions usually feel like a guided conversation. We might:

  • Notice patterns in thinking, behavior, and/or energy levels and how these patterns may connect to underlying needs

  • Talk about sensory needs and nervous system states (fight, flight, freeze, fawn, collapse; meltdowns, shutdowns, burnout)

  • Connect choices and challenges to your core values, with a focus on accessing agency and supporting autonomy

  • Experiment with various tools that support daily life and inner resourcing

  • Explore and honor your natural rhythms, co-creating a sustainable way of living rooted in your authentic needs

You don’t need to explain or justify your experience. You can stim, move, take breaks, or think/process out loud throughout our sessions. Support can be short-term or ongoing, depending on what works best for you.

This work is grounded in your present reality and orients toward future aspirations while building on your existing strengths. We spend less time processing the past in detail and more time on exploring what’s working for you right now, what feels challenging, and identifying small, accessible steps forward.

AuDHD Peer Support

Gender Transition Support

I also offer peer support for gender exploration and transition. This space is for anyone who wants to better understand their relationship to gender, whether you are questioning, exploring, or actively transitioning. We can talk through identity, feelings, and decisions at your pace. Medical transition does not need to be part of this for the support to be relevant or affirming.

Fees

60 minute session rates: $100 - 175

The cost of each session reflects more than just our time together in the 60-minute appointment. It also includes the work I do outside of sessions to support your care: writing notes, responding to emails, preparing personalized resources, doing research relevant to your lived experience, and engaging in ongoing training focused on non-neuronormative, queer-affirming, and trauma-informed care. This behind-the-scenes work helps ensure that our time together is thoughtful, responsive, and grounded in respect for your specific needs.

I work with each client to find a fee and frequency that feels sustainable. Some clients meet weekly, others only need biweekly or monthly sessions. Fees and meeting schedules can fluctuate depending on life changes, level of need, and coaching goals.

  • Accessible Rate: $100

    Choosing this rate means participating in a system of mutual aid and tapping into community wealth. The accessible rate is set below the cost of providing the service, designed for those with limited financial resources. I believe that everyone has a right to supportive and affirming spaces, and access to these should not be limited by financial means.

  • Sustainable Rate: $150

    Opting for this rate means paying the "regular rate" for the service. The sustainable rate ensures the service is provided in a way that supports the sustainability of community-centered care work.

  • Equitable Rate: $175

    When people choose this rate, they are choosing to radically redistribute wealth to community, and help ensure that I can continue to offer services to others for below cost.

    **These services are not a substitute for psychotherapy or medical care, and I am happy to help with referrals if therapy or clinical support would be more appropriate. No diagnosis is needed and there are no residency requirements to engage in coaching services. This service cannot be billed to insurance.
