Designed by and for neurotypical people, standard therapy approaches don’t always work for those of us with ADHD and other types of neurodivergence. That’s because we think differently, feel differently, and communicate differently. Ignoring or pathologizing these differences can lead to shame, anxiety, depression, and a negative self-image.

Neurodiversity is the recognition that neurological differences, such as ADHD and Autism, are natural variations of the human brain that contribute to the richness of our society. That’s not to say that skill building doesn’t matter. Rather, it means we need strategies and solutions that work with our brains, not against them.

Neurodivergent-affirming therapy offers a fresh perspective that encourages self-acceptance and personal growth. My approach is strengths-based and empowering, tailored to honor and harness the strengths and talents that come with neurodivergence.

Therapy sessions are tailored to your specific needs, challenges, and strengths. This might include addressing challenges such as sensory sensitivities, executive functioning difficulties, or anxiety related to social interactions. Or we might work on building practical skills to help you thrive in a neurotypical world.
