Why choose Kosmos Psychology?

My Neurodivergent Affirming Approach

When working with neurodivergent clients, I recognize that dismantling the ableist narrative requires conscious effort in therapeutic spaces. Some folks find themselves feeling “broken” living in a world built with the neurotypical in mind, but Kosmos Psychology challenges this narrative.

My goal is to help you better understand neurodiversity and individualized supports in your home, relationships, workplace to better support you. Whether we are meeting for individual therapy or an individualized therapeutic assessment, my goal is to create a neurodiverse affirming space in which we can do meaningful work to support you towards growth and empowerment.

Neurodivergence does not require fixing. Instead, our goal is to identify your growth edges that can lead to a more authentic life with interdependence, affirming interpersonal relationships, and authentic living.

My LGBTQIA2S+ Affirming Approach

As a member of the LGBTQIA2S+ community, I recognize the importance of LGBTQIA2S+ therapeutic services, both in individual therapy and assessment. Our community is vibrant, resilient, and always evolving. I strive to continue my own education within our community and make changes as I learn of them. My goal is to co-create similar therapeutic spaces with clients where they can explore, understand, and celebrate their identity

Heteronormative narratives would lead us to believe there are standards the LGBTQIA2S+ community “should” strive to meet. Research states clearly the harm these narratives have on our community, often resulting in higher prevalence of mental health difficulties such as depression, body dysmorphia, and anxiety in our LGBTQIA2s+ community. It’s not uncommon for these destructive narratives to begin at home at a young age, increasing our risk of experience traumatic events.

As such, therapeutic spaces need to be safe and affirming and before we can cultivate a brave space in which we can do meaningful work together. As such, your name, pronouns, and gender identity will always be honored in our time together. Let’s create a space in which we can introduce curiosity and compassion around your identity and expression!
