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.

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.

I am committed to a neurodiversity-affirming approach that recognizes neurological differences as natural variations of the human experience, rather than defects.

I believe that healing starts when we learn to embrace, rather than reject, our authentic neurodivergent selves. In my work with clients, I prioritize authenticity, always engaging as my genuine self and communicating openly and directly. This approach is designed to create a safe space where you can feel comfortable being your true self as well.

Can we connect?
