Welcome to My Autistic Therapist! I'm thrilled to have you here. My name is Danielle (she/they) and I hope I can be your autistic therapist. I specialize in providing therapy to autistic adults who want to learn how to unmask, heal internalized ableism, and live an authentic life true to themselves. My approach is deeply rooted in mindfulness, collaboration, and an autistic-centered perspective. Autistic-centered means that I center the autistic experience as central to our work together. I offer online psychotherapy to people located in Minnesota, California, Arkansas, and Florida.

​

I am dedicated to creating safe and non-judgmental spaces where you can freely explore and expand your self-knowledge, knowing that your experiences and perspectives are respected and valued. I consider my approach as radically neurodivergence-affirming which means that I seek to understand and appreciate the complexity, gifts and challenges of your autistic experience without pathologizing it. 

​

My therapeutic approach is considered person-centered, which means that although I am trained in a variety of therapeutic modalities, I prioritize and value the human-to-human connection we foster together in therapy. My goal as a therapist is to meet you where you are at and co-create a healing relationship where you can build insight into yourself and create the changes you wish to see in your life. 

As a therapist, is my priority to create a safe therapeutic environment for marginalized folks from all walks of life. Inclusivity and accessibility are fundamental to my practice. I create a non-judgmental environment that radically celebrates and affirms neurodivergence, while also being welcoming and inclusive of individuals from various backgrounds. Whether you identify as BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, non-binary, transgender, kinky/poly, alternative lifestyle, or belong to any body size, you will find acceptance and understanding here.
