Welcome to My Autistic Therapist! I'm thrilled to have you here. My name is Danielle (she/they) and I hold space for the complexity that is you. I am an AuDHD+ therapist who specializes in working only with other Autistic folx who are looking for radically neurodivergent-affirming support. If you've tried therapy before but found it frustrating to work with someone who couldn't fully understand, I get it. I am particularly well suited to work with autistic folx with co-occurring chronic health conditions (EDS, POTS, ME, etc), ADHD, PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance / Persistent Drive for Autonomy), OCD, personality disorders (OCPD, BPD, etc), anxiety, depression, and trauma (PTSD and cPTSD) as well as Autistic parents of Autistic children. 

​

My therapy style is Autistic-Centered (meaning I do not pathologize your Autistic brain and experience and I believe you are the expert of your life) and I pull from a variety of therapeutic modalities to meet your needs such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), DBT, mindfulness, Trauma-informed therapies (EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, parts work), existential and psychodynamic.

​

Being Autistic in our world is deeply challenging, especially if you've had to navigate it without the support you truly needed. Therapy can provide a safe space for you to be understood and find ways to improve your life in a non-judgmental and accommodating space. I look forward to meeting you!

​

In addition to psychotherapy, I also facilitate a monthly an ongoing Late-Discovered Autistic Support And Learning Community, professional development training, clinical consultation, coaching, and Autism Assessments.
