Neurodivergent · Neuroaffirming Care
Care designed around how your mind actually works.
Neuroaffirming therapy for ADHD, autistic and otherwise neurodivergent adults, whether you're diagnosed, self-identified or still wondering. No masking required.
What's different here
Therapy that adapts to you.
Come as you are.
Stim, fidget, pace, take breaks, info-dump. Sessions bend to your nervous system, not the other way around.
Self-identification counts.
You don't need a formal diagnosis to be taken seriously or to get support that fits.
Strategies built for real life.
Tools designed around how your executive function actually works, not a neurotypical planner with a new cover.
Who this is for
Every kind of mind.
What we can work on
The things that wear you down
Executive function
Time, tasks, transitions and follow-through, with systems that work for your brain.
Late diagnosis & identity
The relief, the grief and the work of rereading your whole story with new information.
Masking & burnout
The exhaustion of passing as neurotypical, and recovering from autistic and ADHD burnout.
Emotional regulation
Big feelings, rejection sensitivity and shutdowns, met with understanding instead of judgment.
Sensory needs
Understanding your sensory profile and shaping your environment around it.
Relationships & communication
Including mixed-neurotype partnerships, where both ways of thinking deserve respect.
Work, school & accommodations
Figuring out what you need and advocating for it, with support in your corner.
Shame & self-criticism
Years of being told you're too much or not enough can leave a mark. We work on that too.
How I work
The tools have to fit the brain using them.
I'm an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider, and I adapt how we work to how you think. That can mean visual tools, movement, shorter check-ins or recaps, whatever helps the work stick.
Many neurodivergent adults also carry trauma from years of being misunderstood, corrected or left out. Internal Family Systems, EMDR and Brainspotting help with that layer, and adapted CBT and DBT skills give you practical tools that fit your life.
At every intersection
If you were overlooked, it's not too late to understand yourself.
ADHD and autism have long been missed in women, in Black and BIPOC folks, and in queer and trans people, often mislabeled as attitude, anxiety or not trying hard enough. Your neurotype lives alongside your race, gender, sexuality and relationships, and your care holds all of it.
