Waves are an excellent metaphor for both counselling work and human relationships. There's the way we describe people's ways of thinking as being "on the same or different wavelengths", and the more literal reality of brainwaves, a biological expression of each person's unique way of processing the world. Visually, the term calls to mind the rainbows and pride flags of the LGBTQ+ (also known as GSRD) community, and the similar imagery of neurodiversity symbols. Personally, as a musician, the notion of waves brings to mind relationships like unison, harmony, resonance, and dissonance.
No two people have the exact same neurology, so none of us is on the exact same wavelength as anyone else. If you're visiting this page, though, chances are there's some dissonance that you want to work out. Maybe your wavelength is struggling to find resonance with someone else's, or perhaps you're struggling within yourself and seeking a better acceptance of the wavelength you're on. I'm not here to tell you you're on the right or wrong wavelength, but to help you find harmony with others, with the world, and within yourself.
I specialize in neurodiversity, GSRD, and complex trauma (including, but not limited to, prolonged childhood abuse and trauma caused by discrimination or political persecution). However, I have generalist training and experience in community mental health settings working with all kinds of concerns, including depression, anxiety, effects of chronic illness, substance misuse, and grief. Please explore my page on accessibility for information on how I seek to accommodate different backgrounds and disabilities in my practice, and my about page for information about my orientation, background, training, and experience.
