NEURODIVERGENT-AFFIRMING CARE

For the ones who’ve always felt "off," "too much," or "not enough."

Many of my clients are neurodivergent, bright, sensitive, perceptive souls who’ve spent years masking, misread, or misdiagnosed. Often they’re high achievers who got by on shear grit, intellects who flew under the radar, or people pleasers who stayed out of trouble. Women, AFAB, and people of color especially were often written off as part of their personality. But most were quietly overwhelmed, exhausted and dismissed by biased systems. In this space, your nervous system isn’t pathologized. It’s honored for all its signals, all its wisdom, and the resilience it’s embodied even when unseen.

ADHD isn’t Always Hyper

Sometimes it looks like mental fog, paralysis, or thoughts that escape you. Sometimes it’s losing things, missing deadlines, or running late despite trying so hard. It’s often being called lazy, scattered, or underachieving when really your brain is just overwhelmed. My work is about honoring that reality and helping you find ways of living that feel more sustainable, supportive, and true to you.

Autism Doesn’t Always Look Like a Stereotype

Many of my clients are social, deeply empathetic, and emotionally attuned yet feel anxious or exhausted underneath. These patterns often go unnoticed, especially in people who hold it together in public but fall apart with overstimulation or small changes in routine. My work is about looking beneath the surface, making space for what’s real, and helping you feel more at ease in your own skin.

Quiet Narratives

  • “Why can’t I just get it together?”

  • “Everything feels harder than it should be.”

  • “I feel like I’m faking it all the time. and I’m exhausted from holding it together.”

  • “I wish I wasn’t so stupid or lazy.”

So many of my clients carry narratives woven with shame, judgment, and self-doubt. My work is about helping you untangle those messages and begin to see yourself with the understanding and care you’ve always deserved. You’ve tried harder than anyone realizes and that should be honored.

My Approach to Neurodivergent Care

✓ Slow titration, gentle pacing — especially for sensitive bodies and nervous systems

✓ Medication only when it fits you — explained in plain language and offered collaboratively

✓ Whole-person care — integrating trauma history, medical illness, hormones, sleep, nutrition, sensory profile, and environment

✓ Education and validation — sometimes understanding yourself is healing in itself

✓ Referrals and case collaboration — I’ll help you build a team if needed (therapists, primary care, nutritionists, body workers, coaches, or PT)

Not Just Anxiety or Depression

Many of my clients have been previously diagnosed with anxiety or depression but their distress is rooted in something else:

  • Constant worry about forgetting, messing up, or falling behind

  • Shame from struggling with motivation or follow through

  • Feeling broken because they can't meet expectations or tap into their potential

What’s often missed? ADHD. Autism. Executive function challenges. Sensory overload. Nervous system dysregulation. This isn’t about willpower. It’s about working with the way your brain actually functions not against.

You don’t need to mask here.

You don’t need to prove anything. You get to show up exactly as you are. This is care that was designed with neurodivergent people in mind — not just as an afterthought. You don’t have to be alone anymore.
