"Empathy is a relationship between equals." -Paolo Freire
Human behavior when placed in context has ripples yet has quiet the flow, beauty, and reason to it. Sometimes behaviors manifest merely for the chronic quest of hanging on to survive, staying attached, or perhaps adopting humor to make others smile. The science of human attachment has interested me since I could remember. Attaching to folks around us, to ourselves, and to the world, is a profound and intimate journey that shapes multiple entities of our internal world.
My practice style is simple yet effective. I take pride in my values and morals to remain grounded in the golden rule: To treat others how you would like to be treated. I listen to listen; not listen to speak. Time and attention are always given. Humility is my centerpiece. Neurodiverse Therapy LLC was built with time and patience of which it is U.S. trademarked.
My undergraduate academia was largely based in the realm of neuro with the study of how humans actually come to feel emotions. I'm a believer of understanding the total concept of processes, thus fueled my passion for social-emotional studies. After receiving my master's degree, I served folks 5-years old to end-of-life in settings of community mental health, juvenile detention centers, therapeutic foster care, private practice, geriatric wellness-assisted living facilities, and integrated behavioral health primary care. Before becoming a therapist, I served 14-years in the U.S. Army in various entities to include active duty, Reserves, and the National Guard to which I then went to serve as a contractor with the U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force. I am a lifelong learner and wholeheartedly enjoy remaining receptive to others' teachings.
