Neuroaffirming and Neuroinformed Therapy
You’ve spent years trying to be easier to follow, quieter, more organized—not because you wanted to, but because the world seemed to expect it. You may have been praised for your intelligence while quietly burning out. Or misunderstood, even when you were doing your best to belong.In therapy, you don’t have to mask. You don’t have to explain. We start by honoring the parts of you that have had to work too hard just to be seen as enough.I bring both lived experience as an ADHDer and years of clinical experience supporting Autistic and ADHD adults. I understand the nuance, the fatigue, and the strength it takes to move through a neurotypical world with a nervous system that wasn’t built for it.
