You’ve spent a lot of time trying to fit into systems that weren’t built for you
Maybe you’ve learned to mask, push through sensory overwhelm, or explain yourself in ways that never quite feel accurate. Or maybe you’re just starting to wonder if you might be neurodivergent and trying to make sense of what that means for you. Wherever you are in that process, therapy should feel like a place where you don’t have to force yourself into a mold.
You might be coming to therapy for:
Exploring or understanding neurodivergence (diagnosed or self-identified)
Burnout from masking or over-functioning
Sensory sensitivities and overwhelm
Emotional regulation and shutdowns
Identity and self-understanding
Navigating relationships and communication
Support as a parent, partner, or caregiver
My approach My work is rooted in a neurodivergent-affirming, strengths-based perspective. That means:
We don’t pathologize the ways your brain works
We explore patterns like masking as adaptations—not failures
We focus on building a life that works for you, not against you
I bring almost 20 years of experience supporting individuals impacted by autism and other developmental differences across home, school, and clinical settings. But more importantly, I approach this work with curiosity, respect, and a commitment to meeting you where you are.
Neurodivergent-affirming therapy in Austin, TX I work with neurodivergent adults, teens, and families, including those who are newly exploring their identity or have spent years feeling misunderstood. You don’t have to keep forcing yourself to function in ways that aren’t sustainable. I’m based in Austin, TX and provide both in-person and virtual therapy for neurodivergent clients across Texas. Reach out (it's okay if you don't know where to start) and schedule your consultation today. Check out this podcast where I discuss working with & supporting autistic individuals! Note: this is more of an educational resource for individuals who work with families with varying needs.
