Hi! Thanks for being here. I specialize in working with people in periods of transition—college, post-college adulthood, early career shifts, motherhood, and identity changes that don’t come with a clear roadmap. These transitions can be particularly complex for autistic, ADHD, and otherwise neurodivergent individuals, especially those who have spent years masking or pushing through.
My practice primarily centers women, transgender, and non-binary clients, particularly those navigating neurodivergence, identity exploration, and life transitions.
Starting therapy can feel daunting, especially if you’re not sure where to begin or whether therapy will really help. If you’re looking for a space that is affirming, thoughtful, and grounded in understanding rather than judgment, I invite you to reach out. We can talk about what’s been feeling hard and whether working together might be a good fit.
Call or Kelly O’Connor now for a free 15 minute consultation - (828) 332-5311
