If you identify as neurodiverse, you may have approached therapy with hesitation. Maybe past therapists misunderstood you, pathologized your experiences, or treated neurodiversity as something outside their scope. You may have even felt unseen, unsupported, or pressured to change parts of yourself that were never problems in the first place. I want you to know this is not how therapy has to feel.

As someone who experiences neurodiversity myself, I know firsthand how varied and nuanced these experiences can be. Therapy with me offers a judgment-free space where you can explore your identity, challenges, and strengths without fear of being misunderstood or dismissed.

In my practice, self-diagnosis is fully valid. I recognize that formal evaluations are often inaccessible and that many diagnostic tools are outdated and fail to reflect what we now know from neurodiverse communities themselves. Your own understanding of who you are is welcome and respected here.

I stay up to date on current research and, just as importantly, learn directly from neurodiverse communities. My care is guided by both lived experience and community-rooted knowledge.

I’ve also noticed, and research supports, a strong overlap between people who fall under the transgender umbrella and those who identify as neurodiverse. If you live at this intersection, you deserve therapy that sees and affirms your full self.

No two neurodiverse people are alike. That’s why I don’t rely on a one-size-fits-all model-I tailor therapy to your needs, preferences, and way of being in the world.

If you’d like to learn more about the intersection of neurodiversity and queer identity, I often recommend Neuroqueer Heresies by Nick Walker, a powerful, community-rooted exploration of neurodiversity, gender, and liberation.
