You're not broken. You're not difficult. You're not "a lot." But I'd guess you've been told at least one of those things, probably more than once. The people who find their way to me are usually carrying years of trying to fit into systems and spaces that were never designed for them; they're tired, done masking, done explaining themselves, ready for something that actually fits. Most of the people who find their way to me have been failed by systems that weren't built for them.
I work with neurodivergent teens, adults, and families across Washington State. I meet you where you are and build from what's already strong.
I specialize in neurodivergent teens, adults, and families, including late-identified ADHD and autism, burnout, masking, and family communication across neurotypes. My approach is direct, practical, and built around how your brain actually works. Let's find what works together.
If something here resonated, that's worth paying attention to. You don't have to have it all figured out to reach out. I offer a free 15 minute consultation so we can see if it's a good fit. You deserve support that was actually built for you.
