Neurodivergence in Therapy

Neurodivergence in Therapy: A Space to Be Yourself

I understand the challenges of navigating a world designed for neurotypicals. Therapy should be a place where you don’t have to mask, explain, or justify your experience; it should be a space where you can genuinely be yourself. As a neurodivergent therapistAs a neurodivergent therapist, I know the challenges of navigating a world built for neurotypicals. Therapy should be a place where you don’t have to mask, explain, or justify your experience—it should be a space where you can fully be yourself. 

A Neurodiversity-Affirming Approach

Neurodivergence isn’t something to "fix"—it’s a different way of experiencing the world. I focus on:

✅ Validating your lived experience without pathologizing it.
✅ Addressing trauma, masking, and burnout from feeling misunderstood.
✅ Building relationships that honor your needs and communication style.
✅ Supporting self-advocacy in work, family, and social settings. 

Trauma, Neurodivergence, and Healing

Many neurodivergent individuals experience trauma, not just from specific events, but from a lifetime of feeling different or forced to mask. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR, we can 

✔️ Process trauma safely, at your pace.
✔️ Unburden internalized shame.
✔️ Develop self-compassion and clarity. 

Therapy That Works for You

I create a space that fits your needs—whether that means using fidget tools, taking breaks, or adapting communication styles. Your therapy experience should honor how your brain works, not vice versa.
