SUMMARY:You Don't Have to Talk About It: Understanding Emotions\, Identity and Overwhelm
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is designed for Autistic LGBTQ+ folks (youth\, teens\, and adults)\, as well as caregivers and professionals who want to better understand and support them.

She specializes in emotional regulation\, creative expression\, and play therapy\, and takes a neurodiversity-affirming and LGBTQ+ affirming approach in her work. Madison is passionate about creating spaces where people feel safe to explore who they are without pressure to explain themselves “the right way\,” especially for those who find it difficult to put their experiences into words. \n\n\n\nHer approach integrates creative\, experiential\, and play-based strategies to support emotional understanding and self-expression. Madison believes that emotions don’t always need to be talked through to be understood\, and that meaningful growth can happen through play\, creativity\, and connection.
