Are you tired of masking your neurodivergence in a neurotypical world? Perhaps this leads to depression or feelings of alienation. Maybe you find yourself frequently putting others’ needs above your own, to the point where you feel run-down and emotionally exhausted. You may be facing a major life change or decision, either for yourself or for your family. In these situations, it can be challenging to identify, navigate, and express your emotions and needs, but you don’t need to do this on your own. Together, we can figure out ways to make life more manageable while remaining true to yourself and nurturing your neurotype.
I use a relational approach while incorporating DBT, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing in my work. Additional specialties include: neurodivergence, complex relationships/family systems, compassion or autism-masking fatigue, emotional regulation, and life transitions.
I have found therapy to be hugely helpful in my own mental health and neurodivergence journey. I view therapy as a dynamic partnership. I encourage you to take the first step by reaching out so that we can uncover the root cause of your suffering before figuring out ways to make life more manageable while remaining true to yourself.
