This page gathers the materials that reflect my development as a therapist-in-training: clinical documents, conceptual maps, reflective frameworks, psychoeducational tools, and counseling resources that bring together my background in design, teaching, and trauma-informed care.

My work is grounded in relational, neurodivergent-affirming, and trauma-informed practice, with strong interest in ADHD, parts work, expressive and visual tools, meaning-making, and the layered systems that shape a person’s life.

Alongside traditional counseling documents, I also create conceptual and visual materials that help translate complex inner experiences into something more visible, usable, and humane.

Thoughtful design can turn abstract insight into something a person can see, hold, return to, and use.

Featured Framework

Maps of the Self-Scape is one of the clearest examples of how I bring counseling and visual communication together. It is both a conceptual and design-based framework for understanding executive functioning, inner experience, systems, self-story, and the ecology of daily life.

The project draws from counseling theory, ADHD-informed frameworks, existential reflection, ecological systems thinking, and visual mapping practices. Rather than flattening people into symptoms, it aims to offer a more spacious and humane way of understanding complexity.

This work reflects what most interests me as a clinician and maker: helping people see patterns, relationships, burdens, strengths, and internal structures with greater clarity and compassion.

Sometimes a map does not solve the terrain, but it helps us stop feeling lost inside it.

What I Create

  • Client worksheets
  • Hope Box pages
  • Parts maps
  • Grounding tools
  • Emotional regulation visuals
  • Executive function and ADHD maps
  • Workshop handouts
  • Psychoeducational materials

How I Can Help

I can help translate therapeutic ideas into visuals that are easier to teach, easier to remember, and easier for clients to return to outside the therapy room.

Whether you need a single handout or a fuller visual system, I’m interested in creating materials that support both clinical clarity and human depth.

Let’s make something together

Visual tools can help therapeutic insight become more memorable, compassionate, and usable. I’m especially interested in materials that support trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming, and relational clinical work.
