The Why of The Space I Offer
Lived Experience Matters
As a queer, neurodivergent, and disabled therapist living with ADHD, Complex PTSD, hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS), POTS, and MCAS, I understand firsthand how trauma, chronic illness, disability, identity, and nervous system regulation can intersect. My lived experience informs my empathy and perspective, while every therapeutic relationship remains grounded in your unique story, your expertise about your own life, and evidence-informed, collaborative care.
Living with hEDS, POTS, and MCAS: A Somatic Approach to Chronic Illness, Trauma, and Intimacy
When Intimacy Feels Complicated: Understanding Sexuality Through the Lens of Trauma, Neurodivergence, and the Nervous System
If intimacy feels complicated, you are not alone. Many people struggle with desire, pleasure, pain during sex, sensory overwhelm, shame, or difficulty feeling connected in relationships. These experiences are often influenced by the nervous system, trauma, neurodivergence, chronic illness, or disability—not personal failure. In this post, we explore how experiences such as CPTSD, autism, ADHD, vaginismus, vulvodynia, chronic pain, and asexuality can shape intimacy, and how healing often begins with compassion, safety, and understanding rather than pressure to change.
