I provide a space for neurodivergent adults where "unlearning" is just as important as healing.
If you’re autistic, ADHD, or otherwise neurodivergent, you’ve probably been handed a lot of harmful scripts: "You just need to try harder." or, "Everyone feels that way." Therapy with me is different. Here, we challenge internalized stigma and unpack the lies you’ve been taught about your brain.
We replace "coping" with liberation. Less "how to endure overwhelm," more "how to design a life that doesn’t constantly cause it."
We connect authentically. No performative "therapist voice." No judgment. My clients say this space feels different: "For the first time, I’m not afraid to be honest in therapy."
"You call out my bullshit and hold me with care."
I use specialized Tools for ND Trauma. EMDR – Reprocess shaming experiences (like being called "too much" or "lazy") without blaming yourself.
IFS (Parts Work) – Heal the "parts" of you that had to mask to survive.
