Therapy that makes
room for all of you.
Neuroaffirming mental health counseling for adolescents and adults with ADHD and autism. A place to explore what’s difficult and build a more sustainable way forward.
You can be capable
and still need support.
Sometimes the demands of life outgrow the systems that once worked. You may understand what needs to happen and still struggle to start, or feel exhausted beneath the appearance of managing.
Counseling offers space to understand those patterns, work with emotional distress, and explore changes that fit your life. Your neurological differences are not something to erase.
What brings
you here?
- Anxiety, overwhelm, and emotional distress
- Burnout and changes in capacity
- Executive functioning and task initiation
- Career stress, graduate school, and major transitions
- Relationships, communication, and boundaries
- Late diagnosis, masking, and identity
- Perfectionism, shame, and self-criticism
- Meaning, purpose, and values
Understanding, flexibility,
and meaningful action.
I primarily draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), adapted through a neuroaffirming lens. Together, we make room for difficult thoughts and feelings, clarify what matters to you, and explore actions that reflect those values.
Sessions can include practical strategies, emotional processing, relationship exploration, self-compassion, and attention to the expectations and environments shaping your life.
The right kind
of support.
Counseling is psychotherapy. It is the clearest starting point when emotional distress, mental health, relationships, identity, or broader clinical concerns are central. Practical strategies can be part of that work. Music therapy may also be incorporated when clinically appropriate.
Common questions
Can therapy include practical strategies?
Yes. Counseling may include routines, planning, external supports, and executive-function strategies alongside work on emotional distress, relationships, identity, and mental health.
How is this different from coaching?
Therapy can address clinical concerns and the emotional and psychological dimensions of a problem. Coaching focuses on practical systems and implementation and does not diagnose or treat mental-health conditions.
You don’t have to figure it all out first.
A free 20-minute consultation is a place to ask questions, talk about what you need, and explore whether working together feels like a fit.
