Navigating Life as a
Neurodivergent

Being autistic or ADHD can mean navigating a world that often doesn’t cater to your unique needs.

Whether it’s challenges in communication, sensory sensitivities, or executive functioning difficulties, it's important that you have support that not only understands these issues but knows how to effectively address them.

In our sessions, we’ll focus on leveraging your strengths and finding practical solutions to the challenges you face. We'll also create coping strategies that fit your specific lifestyle and helping you build on your innate talents and abilities. Additionally, we'll explore ways you can embrace your authentic neurodivergent self.

I am committed to a neurodiversity-affirming approach that recognizes neurological differences as natural variations of the human experience, rather than defects. My therapy sessions are tailored to help you understand and appreciate the workings of your neurodivergent mind, aiding you in more effectively navigating both personal and professional environments and relationships.

Together, we will explore how your unique traits shape your experiences and identify strategies to advocate for your needs in various settings. I deeply believe in radical authenticity and am dedicated to empowering you to embrace this in our work together. My hope is that by understanding and embracing your neurodivergent identity, you can find greater connection and fulfillment in your life.
