ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Jillyan (she/her) 

 

I am a queer, neurodivergent, biracial, Marriage and Family Therapist Associate committed to providing therapy that is inclusive, identity-affirming, and grounded in social justice. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming, fat positive (Health at Every Size), trauma-informed, anti-racist, and pro-disability.

 

I specialize in neurodiversity-affirming therapy for autistic and ADHD clients, as well as anyone who identifies as neurodivergent or experiences the world differently. I use a systems approach and draw from Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Queer Theory. I believe problems occur in context and are shaped by the systems we move through—not because something is “wrong” within us.

 

I work with individuals, families, and relationship systems (including couples and non-traditional partnerships). My goal is to create a safe and collaborative space where you can explore your story, understand its roots, and reauthor it in a way that aligns with your values and lived experience.

 

Coming to therapy is a brave choice that takes vulnerability, courage, and energy. I strive to bring empathy, compassion, and openness to every session. I value a collaborative approach where clients can guide treatment in the direction that feels most meaningful to them.

 

Growth and change can be challenging, and my hope is that by offering a supportive and non-judgmental space, I can help clients navigate their challenges and move toward their goals. Everyone’s story is unique, and I am here to honor yours. I believe that we all deserve a safe space to grow, heal, and be truly seen.

 

Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy spending time with my partner and two dogs.

​

EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE

I hold a Master’s degree in Marriage, Couple, and Family Therapy from Lewis & Clark College. I also hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from California State University, Fullerton. 

​

During my graduate program, I worked for two years in a residential setting with adults who experienced a variety of mental health crises. I also have worked in school systems, specifically in the special education realm. During my graduate clinical training, I completed year long internships at the Lewis and Clark Community Counseling Center, as well as at Children’s Center where I worked with preteens to teenagers and their families.
