Neurodivergent Affirming Consultation

Are you looking for a space to deepen your work with neurodivergent clients?

There’s a common path that I’ve noticed clinicians walk before they find me for consultation. Many clinicians have been deep diving, reading many books, and taking professional trainings related to neurodivergence. After learning more about neurodivergent identities, clinicians often realize that more of their clients are neurodivergent than they had previously thought. Some clinicians have learned about their own neurodivergence in recent years or that of family or friends. Learning more about neuroaffirming care and neurodivergence in general can be eye opening, but also overwhelming. It can be hard to know where to start in practice.

I love helping clinicians learn more about neurodivergent identities, neuroaffirming principles and adaptations to clinical work. I’m also passionate around perinatal work. It is always important to me to find ways for clinicians to bring in new styles of work that feel authentic to themselves and their clinical practice. 

I’m appreciative of all clinician that are doing the work to better support neurodivergent clients. I find I can be a particularly good fit for supporting neurodivergent clinicians who are supporting neurodivergent adult clients.

EMDR Consultation:

EMDR is a powerful modality that can feel overwhelming at first. Especially if you work with clients that have needs that may not have been taught about in your foundational training.

Clinicians sometimes come to me to learn how to use EMDR with their perinatal clients. Others are more focused on adapting EMDR to be most helpful for their neurodivergent clients. Some have been using EMDR with many of their clients and others have been finding roadblocks to really digging in.

My perspective on EMDR centers around finding the inherent flexibility within the basic protocol. While EMDR is an evidence based approach, one of my favorite things about it is that there lots of room for creativity. I find that learning the “whys” behind the protocol help clinicians know where they can be flexible and where they are needing to stay closer to the protocol. It’s also an important value of mine to help clinicians work in a way that feels authentic to their style, personality, and needs. Generally, I think therapists can do our best work if we are feeling aligned with how we are working.

I can offer hours towards EMDRIA certification
