I am neurodivergent. Sharing a little bit about what a client can anticipate with my flavor of neuro-spice seems legitimate as individuals try to assess if they might like working with me. I have solid pattern recognition skills, a direct talking style, and a strong sense of justice. I care deeply about people, I am an active listener, and I also look at the person speaking. However, while I talk, I will often not be looking in direction of the person I’m speaking to. Don’t worry, I wont turn and talk to the wall. I will mostly likely talk with my hands and will give check-in glances. In the session room, my sense of empathy can show up as sharing a relatable story and/or techniques that have worked for me within the contexts of what was shared by the client.

It’s important to me to continue to build report and keep a connection with clients, while also being my authentic self. My time with clients is focused on the greater good of the client. I ask questions about and share what I feel might be helpful for the client.
