Finding the right therapist is one of the most important decisions you will make. A trusting therapeutic alliance -with someone that gets you-often transforms life from a burdensome, to-do checklist into something awe-inspiring. Because you've built a life authentic to YOU. I work with people late-diagnosed with ADHD, autism, & other neurodivergent subtypes (often called 'neuro-spicy'). They've often received a diagnosis because their usual strategies are no longer working and now career and personal relationships are being adversely affected. I'm here to tell you: it's not supposed to be this hard. I also get a lot of what I call 'mixed' couples: where one partner has ADHD, the other is neurotypical-and they've fallen into a parent-child dynamic. Oftentimes, neurodivergent people wrestle w/issues related to chronic illness, their gender and/or sexual expression, and with parenting decisions., usually all at once. Let's talk about it and find solutions together.
