Hi, I'm Cade! I'm so excited to work with you.

​

I approach voice therapy from an identity-affirming perspective that centers the lived experiences of each of my clients. My goal is to help clients create a voice that is just as unique as they are! My lived experience as a transgender and AuDHD person helps to guide my sessions and treatment plans. I come to each session with humility and gratitude, endlessly thankful that my clients have allowed me to help support them on their journey to becoming more aligned with their authentic self. I work with my clients to create goals that are meaningful to them and a therapy plan that is accessible for each individual’s unique neurotype.

​

Here are some ways I try to create a neurodivergent-friendly therapy space:​

-- Cameras on or off

-- Practice with me during our sessions, or just watch and learn to practice on your own at home

-- Addressing executive function supports to get to the bottom of WHY practice feels hard (and how to make it easier)

-- Stim- and fidget-friendly

-- Get as deep into the "why" as you'd like, or stick strictly to the "how"

-- Exploring common fears, feelings, and vulnerabilities that come with voice therapy (or not!)

-- Taking breaks as needed

-- Looking at physical/mental health challenges as "speed bumps" to voice therapy rather than "stop signs" (after all, we need to use our voices even when we aren't feeling 100%) 

​

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors (especially stand-up paddle boarding in the summer and hiking/backpacking in the fall), answering to the whims of my dog, learning to play the saxophone, and reading.
