You love each other. But your ADHD/autistic brain and their neurotypical brain seem to be at odds.
Maybe you feel unseen. Maybe they feel blamed. Maybe you're both just exhausted.
Here's the thing: the gap between your two brains isn't a character flaw. It's wiring. And once you understand how your partner's brain actually works, everything shifts.
I use EFT, somatic therapy, and a neurodiversity-affirming approach. That means I'm not here to fix your partner, I'm here to help you both understand how you're wired and build a relationship that works with that wiring.
I work with:
Neurodivergent couples (ADHD + partner, autism + partner, or both)
Partners experiencing Cassandra Syndrome burnout
Individuals processing neurodivergent identity
