Neurodiversity,
ADHD & Autism

Neurodiversity-Affirming Therapy

Understanding your brain can change the way you understand your entire life.

ADHD and autism can affect relationships, work, communication, emotional regulation, executive functioning, identity, and daily life. For many adults, especially those diagnosed later in life, understanding neurodivergence can bring both relief and new questions.

Therapy can provide a place to explore those questions without treating neurodivergence itself as something that needs to be fixed.

Therapy May Focus On

  • Executive functioning

  • Emotional regulation

  • Overwhelm and burnout

  • Communication

  • Relationships

  • Boundaries

  • Self-advocacy

  • Identity

  • Masking and authenticity

  • Shame and self-esteem

  • Life transitions

  • Understanding neurodivergent patterns

How I work with ND folks

The goal is not to make you appear more neurotypical.

Therapy can instead help you understand how your brain works, identify environments and strategies that support you, communicate your needs, and build systems that work with your strengths and challenges. I provide virtual ADHD and autism therapy throughout California and Pennsylvania.
