I love working with individuals that identify with female-presenting high-masking neurodivergency, particularly in college-aged individuals. Some other terms for high-masking that are heard can be "high-functioning" or "late or self-diagnosed". I believe in empowering ourselves and granting ourselves the skills needed to succeed in an environment that might be challenging otherwise. My main goal is to connect with you, and help you achieve your goals in whatever capacity it may present as.
I specialize in working with neurodivergent women, particularly autistic clients and ADHDers. I offer a combination of principles rooted in CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care, as well as brainspotting.
As someone that lives with AuDHD and has experiences the struggles of trying to adhere to a neuronormative environment throughout higher education, I would love to connect with you and help you determine your path so you can live the life you want to live.
