You don’t need to be “fixed”. You need to be understood.

As an Autistic Level 1 therapist, I offer neurodivergent-affirming therapy that is grounded in lived experience, deep empathy, and a commitment to honoring all forms of neurodiversity. Whether you’re autistic, ADHD, highly sensitive, or still exploring your neurodivergent identity, you deserve care that validates your way of being in the world.

This is a space where stimming, sensory needs, and nonlinear communication are not just accepted-they’re respected.

What is neurodivergent-affirming therapy?

Neurodivergent-affirming therapy is an approach that recognizes neurodivergence—such as autism, ADHD, sensory processing differences, and other cognitive variations—as a natural and valuable part of human diversity.

Rather than viewing neurodivergence through a lens of pathology or deficit, affirming therapy focuses on understanding your unique experience, honoring your needs, and helping you build a life that works for you—not one that’s shaped by neurotypical norms.

What you can expect…

• Non-pathologizing: Your brain isn’t broken, and therapy isn’t about fixing you. It’s about supporting you in navigating a world that often misunderstands or overlooks neurodivergent ways of being.

• Curious and collaborative: We work together to understand your internal landscape, sensory world, communication style, and coping strategies—with compassion and respect.

• Consent-based and empowering: You are the expert on your experience. Therapy honors your autonomy, supports self-advocacy, and never forces you to mask or conform.

• Flexible and accessible: Sessions are adapted to meet your needs—whether that means offering breaks, reducing eye contact, using visuals, or embracing scripts, stimming, or infodumps.

• Supportive of self-diagnosis: You don’t need a formal diagnosis to access affirming care. If you’re exploring your neurodivergence or questioning your identity, you are welcome here.

Whether you’re seeking support for burnout, relationships, identity exploration, or just wanting a space where you can be fully yourself—neurodivergent-affirming therapy offers a foundation of safety, validation, and genuine understanding.

Why choose a neurodivergent therapist?

Choosing a therapist is a deeply personal decision—and for neurodivergent clients, it can be especially important to find someone who truly gets it.

As an Autistic Level 1 therapist, I don’t just work with neurodivergent clients—I am one. This lived experience shapes the way I show up in the therapy room: with authenticity, flexibility, and a deep understanding of what it means to navigate a world that often wasn’t built with us in mind.

Here’s what that means for you:

• Lived Experience, Not Just Textbook Knowledge: I understand masking, sensory overload, social fatigue, and the nuances of communication because I’ve lived them—not just studied them.

• You Won’t Have to Educate Me: You can spend your session focusing on yourself, not on explaining what it means to be autistic, ADHD, or otherwise neurodivergent.

• Affirming, Not Fixing: I don’t view neurodivergence as a deficit or disorder, but as a natural part of human diversity. Therapy here isn’t about changing who you are—it’s about helping you connect with your needs, strengths, and values.

• Nontraditional-Friendly: I welcome stimming, movement, silence, scripts, infodumps, and other beautiful expressions of neurodivergent communication. Sessions are flexible and sensory-aware.

• Identity-Safe Space: Whether you’re formally diagnosed, self-diagnosed, or exploring your identity, this is a space where your experience is valid and affirmed.

Working with a neurodivergent therapist can feel like a breath of fresh air—a place where you’re not just understood intellectually, but emotionally and energetically, too.

You deserve that kind of connection.

What if neurodivergence isn’t the only thing I want help with?

Together we can work on a variety of issues. You might be also navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, grief, relationship struggles, identity exploration, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life. Neurodivergent-affirming therapy doesn’t limit our work to only neurodivergence — it means we approach everything you’re facing with your brain and body in mind.

For Individuals

You may be navigating burnout, masking, anxiety, or a sense of feeling “othered”. You might also be in a process of self-identification or pursuing formal diagnosis. Together, we’ll slow things down, explore your internal world with compassion, and help you build a life that reflects your values and wiring - not neurotypical expectations.

For Parents and Caregivers

As a therapist and an Autistic adult, I support parents in understanding their neurodivergent children through a relational and non-pathologizing lens. I help caregivers move away from compliance-based strategies and toward connection, regulation, and advocacy — supporting both the child’s growth and the parent’s healing.

For Partners and Relationships

Neurodivergence often shows up in relationships in nuanced ways. I offer affirming support to neurodivergent individuals and partners of neurodivergent individuals. Helping you communicate to understand each other’s needs, sensory profiles, and emotional rhythms without blame or pressure to conform.

Whether you’re newly exploring this path or have known for years, you’re welcome here, just as you are.
