Hi, I’m Amy. I understand how exhausting it can feel to navigate a world not built with neurodivergent minds in mind. Masking, burnout, workplace challenges, grief, or the uncertainty of exploring Autism, ADHD, or other forms of neurodivergence can leave you feeling unseen, overwhelmed, or disconnected. I bring both lived experience, warmth and professional expertise to create a safe, affirming space. My approach is neuroaffirming, sensory-aware, and flexible, tailored to your needs, preferences, and pace. Together we can explore identity, build self-compassion, strengthen relationships, and develop practical strategies.
