Society has always told you to “be yourself…but not like that.” After years of wondering why things felt harder for you, you discovered that you are autistic. This realization should bring relief. Instead, it’s overwhelming. What does this mean for your relationships, your sense of self, and your future? Masking has been your survival tool, but it’s exhausting. The more you try to fit into the world’s expectations, the more drained and disconnected you feel. You want to live as your authentic self, but where do you even begin?
If you’re not sure what happiness even looks like, you’ve come to the right place. Using EMDR and a collaborative/Solutions-Focused approach, I help you (as much as you want) to discover your goals and plan accessible steps to build a fulfilling life and meaningful relationships.
You don’t have to fit into a box that wasn’t made for you—you deserve to thrive as you are. Call today for a free consultation. I look forward to hearing from you!
