You may be a late-diagnosed or self-diagnosed neurodivergent adult—autistic, ADHD, or both—who functions well on the surface but feels chronically exhausted beneath it. Years of masking—monitoring your tone, reactions, productivity, attention, and social cues—can quietly lead to burnout, anxiety, and a sense that life requires constant effort. I specialize in working with neurodivergent adults who are ready to reduce masking, rebuild energy, and develop a way of living that supports their nervous system, values, & long-term independence.
Typically, my clients are resourceful, insightful, and self-aware, yet struggle with executive functioning, emotional overload, decision fatigue, or consistency. A late diagnosis can bring relief alongside grief or confusion. I take a collaborative approach to reduce burnout and masking exhaustion, to build stability, autonomy, and self-trust.
Our work centers on understanding patterns, reducing unnecessary demands, & building systems that support how you naturally think, focus, process, and recover. Sessions often include practical problem-solving, reframing internalized expectations, & developing routines and boundaries that are realistic—not performative, and less mentally exhausting.
