Feeling misunderstood or overwhelmed by the demands of life, relationships, or work can be exhausting. Navigating a world that often feels like it wasn’t designed for you, while masking your true self to fit in, can leave you struggling with communication, burnout, or simply finding ways to express your needs to those who matter most. The stress of constantly adapting can make you feel isolated, misunderstood, and at times, invisible.

For many late-identified neurodivergent individuals, understanding what it truly means to be Autistic, ADHD, or PDA (Persistent Drive for Autonomy) can be a deeply overwhelming journey. Unmasking your authentic self while communicating your needs to loved ones can feel daunting — even terrifying. There’s a reason we masked in the first place — masking is often a survival mechanism. Carrying the weight of feeling “othered” and striving to meet societal expectations while trying to fit into a world that doesn’t always understand can be exhausting.

Perhaps you’ve been labeled as unreasonable, manipulative, controlling, distant, too much, or not enough. These labels are not your truth, but they can feel like a heavy burden to carry.

What I want you to know is that YOU ARE ENOUGH. Just as you are. The work we will do together is about uncovering your needs, learning to communicate them effectively, and embracing the truth that your way of being is not broken — it’s simply different.

Whether you're an individual, a couple, or a family, we’ll create a space where everyone can show up as their true selves. You deserve to be understood, supported, and empowered to live authentically. Together, we’ll find your voice and make your unique experience known and respected.

Working with me means creating a judgment-free, supportive space where you can be your true self. My approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and a belief that everyone’s experience is valid. I collaborate with clients to uncover strengths and challenges, using a strengths-based, neuro-affirming lens to help you better understand yourself and communicate your needs effectively.

In our sessions, you’ll receive practical strategies and guidance tailored to your needs. My goal is to empower you with the tools to confidently advocate for yourself.

I specialize in supporting late-identified neurodivergent individuals. If you’ve spent years masking or struggling to be understood, my approach will help you step into a more authentic way of being. Whether you’re seeking individual support or relationship guidance, I’m here to help you thrive as your true self.
