My Approach
As a neurodivergent clinician with lived experiences, my approach will always be human first. In this life, we are expected to rehearse and perform roles that may be misaligned with our values. We are expected to take massive strides through life without having autonomy of where we would like to go.
And when we finally burn out and need support, we're made to feel as if our challenges are caused by our own lack of capacity and competency - which is the opposite of the life that we have built in order to survive.
A body thrives off a sense of belonging and connection, whether it be from others or yourself. We live in a society that divides and conquers.
I view life as existentially as one can. There's a lot of joy that can be taken out of life when one finally sees the costumes that they and others are forced to put on at the beginning of each day. There can also be a lot of relief in rediscovering existentialism as a multipurpose tool that can allow you to discover deep intentionality.
Stay curious on the spectrum
Autonomy
Our existence and truth is our key to happiness and connection. We may not feel comfortable with stepping outside without a mask on. We may not know what roles we play without them. And we're here to discover that.
Intentionality
We can't control what the world has in store for us, but we can control the meaning we derive from it. We can control the intention we put out there. We can build up a sense of self that surrounds your true values.
Humor
Lets do it all while having a laugh.
Let's explore a world where pain, meaning, and anticipation do not determine who you have to be.
