About
Are you an adult woman (or AFAB) questioning Autism or ADHD? Are you struggling with the stress and anxiety of trying to be "normal?" Do feel socially awkward and experience sensory concerns? You compare yourself to others and often feel overwhelmed to the point of feeling like you are having a meltdown. You feel like you’re different from everyone else and don’t fit in. It’s exhausting feeling out of control, but the good news is, together, we can help you embrace the real you and enjoy life without putting in so much effort trying to please others.
As the only specialist for female Autism & ADHD in WI, I will help you learn how to be your true authentic self, without masking and changing who you are to "fit in" to society. As a neurodivergent woman, I connect with you on a deeper level. You deserve to feel validated, and I can assist you in determining which neurodivergent criteria you best fit into.
I’ll provide you with a safe, neurodiversity affirming therapy space and offer you a variety of simple tools you can use to learn how to work with your brain instead of working against it. I have an empathetic and understanding approach that includes using humor as a tool. I look forward to helping you start your new journey to a happier and healthier life!
