About Me
Perspective shapes experience. Understanding perspective changes how we see one another.
Why does the same situation feel manageable to one person and overwhelming to another? Why do we interpret the same events differently? How do our brains, bodies, and experiences shape the perspectives through which we understand the world? These questions have guided my work for many years.
I'm an autistic writer, educator, forensic consultant, and Certified Level 3 Internal Family Systems Practitioner. Drawing on predictive processing, neuroscience, psychological theory, and lived experience, I explore how our brains anticipate and interpret the world, and how these processes shape emotion, communication, and behavior.
My professional work focuses on autism, particularly how differences in communication, sensory processing, and responses to uncertainty can lead to misunderstanding. Through forensic consulting, professional education, and writing, I help attorneys, clinicians, and organizations develop more informed perspectives on human behavior. I also maintain a small individual practice offering IFS-informed sessions.
Outside of work, I'm happiest with my family and dogs, preferably outdoors. I love hiking, learning, writing, silence, repetitive patterns, soft clothing, notebooks, and familiar routines. I'm less enthusiastic about bright lights, noisy restaurants, unexpected changes, and talking on the phone.
I believe that understanding another person's perspective begins with recognizing that our own is only one way of experiencing the world.
