As a specialist counselor for neurodiversity, my passion lies in providing inclusive and tailored support for individuals with diverse neurological profiles. Grounded in empathy and understanding, I navigate the unique challenges and strengths associated with neurodivergent experiences. I am committed to fostering a safe space where clients, whether diagnosed with autism, ADHD, or other neurodivergent conditions, can explore their feelings, develop coping strategies, and enhance interpersonal skills. Recognizing the importance of neurodiversity in shaping identity, my practice celebrates differences and promotes self-acceptance. Through a collaborative and strengths-based approach, I empower individuals to navigate the world with confidence and resilience.

My approach integrates trauma-informed care, acknowledging the unique stressors immigrants often face. By fostering resilience and addressing cultural nuances, I guide clients toward healing and adjustment. Through a collaborative and empathetic lens, I empower individuals to navigate the intricate interplay between immigration, cultural identity, and trauma on their journey towards emotional well-being..
