Neurodivergent Therapy for Adults in Seattle

Maybe you’ve spent your life feeling like you were somehow out of step with everyone else.

Perhaps you’ve always been “too much.” Or “too sensitive.” Or “too intense.” Or somehow both “too much” and “not enough” at the same time.

You may have learned to study other people before speaking. To hide parts of yourself. To apologize for taking up space. To work twice as hard just to appear like you’re keeping up.

Maybe you’ve been diagnosed with ADHD or autism. Maybe you’re wondering if those words fit. Or maybe you don’t care about labels as much as you care about finally understanding why life has always felt harder than it seemed to be for everyone else.

Neurodivergence isn’t a defect to overcome. It’s one way of being human.

THERAPY THAT STARTS WITH CURIOSITY, NOT CORRECTION

My approach is neurodiversity-affirming, LGBTQIA+ and gender-affirming, collaborative, and grounded in curiosity rather than compliance.

Together we’ll explore patterns that developed over years of adapting, masking, surviving, and trying to make sense of yourself. We may talk about ADHD, autism, executive functioning, sensory differences, burnout, identity, relationships, trauma, communication, or simply what it feels like to stop pretending you’re okay all the time.

Therapy isn’t about fixing you. It’s about understanding how your brain works so you can build a life that actually fits.

Many of the neurodivergent adults I work with spent years believing they were lazy, dramatic, disorganized, “too emotional,” or simply failing at adulthood.

Therapy becomes a place where those stories can finally be questioned with compassion instead of accepted as fact.

Whether you’re newly diagnosed, questioning, burned out, or simply exhausted from trying to fit yourself into a world that wasn’t designed with your brain in mind, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

If this sounds familiar, let’s talk.

  • Neurodivergent is an umbrella term describing brains that develop or function differently from what society considers typical. It commonly includes ADHD, autism, dyslexia, Tourette syndrome, and other neurological differences. Neurodivergence isn’t an illness to cure—it’s a different way of experiencing and interacting with the world.

  • No. Some people come with formal diagnoses, while others are simply trying to understand themselves better. Therapy can be valuable whether you’re formally diagnosed, self-identifying, questioning, or simply noticing that the usual advice has never quite worked.

  • Yes. Many adults identify with both autism and ADHD (sometimes called AuDHD). Together we’ll explore how those experiences overlap and build strategies that fit your brain rather than trying to force it into someone else’s system.

  • Yes. Many clients discover or begin exploring neurodivergence in adulthood after years of masking, burnout, or wondering why life has always felt harder than it looked for other people.

  • Yes. Neurodivergence, gender diversity, and queer identities frequently overlap. My practice is affirming of LGBTQIA+ identities and recognizes that these experiences often influence one another rather than existing separately.

  • Yes. I provide secure online therapy for adults throughout Washington State.

  • We’ll spend about 15 minutes talking about what brings you to therapy, what you’re hoping for, and whether we seem like a good fit. If it feels like a good match, we’ll talk about next steps.
