Not every experience is the same— and I don’t mean to over generalize.

There is so much nuance within the Autistic community, and no single post could ever capture every individual experience.

But these are the core values that guide my work as a trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming clinician—ones rooted in listening to Autistic voices, prioritizing nervous system safety, viewing counseling through a social justice lens, and supporting quality of life over compliance.

I’m consistently pushing myself to learn more and do right by my Autistic clients. Some therapeutic interventions have a history of causing harm and it’s important to acknowledge that so that we can collectively try to do better.

Calling all counselors, therapists, social workers, psychologists, & school counselors - I’m experimenting with a new pop-up meditation series for helping professionals (this time, my peeps: counselors!) to see if this type of support is something wanted by our community.

In the last few months I’ve seen many counselors discussing the emotional fatigue, stress, and burnout of counseling during a time of increased geopolitical chaos - it’s truly an onslaught of wild headlines one after the other. There are a lot of fried nervous systems out there right now.

I’m very excited to start applying my counselor training as I begin offering non-clinical but trauma informed, neurodiversity affirming, and lgbtqia+ affirming meditations, yoga, and wellness events of all sorts through Inner Sanctuary. This will be a Polyvagal and yoga informed meditation thoughtfully designed to offer a compassionate and grounding moment of support to you, the people so used to holding the space for others.

Please feel free to share the link with colleagues you work with. This is specifically for counselors, therapists, social workers, school counselors, psychologists, etc. 🤍

If you’re interested, please register at the link in our bio, or on our brand new app for Apple and Google phones! Type in Inner Sanctuary Holistic in your App Store to find it.

If this is well attended and enjoyed by participants, I’m happy to run future virtual events if this is something desired our community 💫✨ Medical providers, teachers, parents, and the LGBTQIA+ community- you’re on my mind for future events too 🫶🏻

Kansas’s SB244 law is a disaster. If you are an ally, now is the time to put that love and support into action for the trans community. Counselors and social workers, don’t forget our ethical obligation to address systems of oppression that harm clients. Trans people have never been and will not ever be hidden from daily life. I am following the and for updates on their legal pushback. But in the meantime let’s get to work and get calling/emailing. Share this post or other posts to spread awareness. Scroll to the end for crisis hotlines if needed.

Okay wait how have I not posted about this book yet?! I am such a fan of Jessica McCabe, her YouTube channel, and this book. This book is so human, so relatable, so honest, and so compassionate. It’s such a great tool for ADHDers to increase self-understanding, and I’ve often asked parents and partners of ADHDers to read this to better understand their loved ones. I can’t recommend this book enough!

Things your favorite neurodivergent person might *really* want for Valentine’s Day, and every day, from one neurodivergent person to another 💗

Neurodiversity is not a one size fits all- these are just common themes many of us experience!
