Deep Neurodivergent Understanding
You’ll work with a therapist who truly understands autism and ADHD — not just clinically, but practically and compassionately.
Thoughtful, Personalized Tools
We don’t force one-size-fits-all strategies. Together, we find tools that actually fit your brain, needs, and life.
A Space Where You’re Truly Heard
You won’t be rushed, minimized, or “fixed.” You’ll be listened to with care, curiosity, and
respect.
Do you want support that meets you, not the world’s idea of you?
Life can feel exhausting when you’re constantly adapting to expectations that weren’t made for you. Maybe masking has left you drained at the end of the day. Maybe sensory overload, executive function challenges, or social pressures make even simple tasks feel overwhelming. Or maybe you’ve spent so long trying to “fit in” that you’ve lost touch with what feels authentic.
-
These experiences are real.
-
They’re tiring.
-
They can leave you feeling unseen.
We help Autistic and ADHD adults facing burnout, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, executive function challenges, relationship struggles, and sensory or social difficulties. Using evidence- informed approaches, we tailor therapy to your needs. Together, we focus on understanding your unique neurodivergence, building coping strategies, improving self-advocacy, and creating a life
that works for you — not the world’s expectations.
You don’t have to face this alone. Let’s find support that truly fits you.
