NEURODIVERGENT THERAPY IN SEATTLE
Maybe you’ve spent years feeling like you were somehow missing the instruction manual everyone else seemed to receive. You work harder than people realize. You rehearse conversations before they happen. You replay them afterward. Bright lights, crowded restaurants, endless decisions, or constant interruptions can leave you exhausted long before anyone else notices. You may have developed systems that work beautifully—until they don’t.
Or maybe you are beginning to wonder whether you might have ADHD, autism, AuDHD, or another form of neurodivergence.
For many adults, recognition comes long after childhood. Sometimes after a diagnosis. Sometimes after learning about ADHD, autism, sensory processing, or executive functioning. Sometimes after watching your child receive a diagnosis and unexpectedly recognizing yourself in the process.
Therapy isn’t about deciding whether you fit perfectly into a label. It’s about understanding the way your brain works, recognizing the strategies that helped you survive, and building a life that no longer depends on constant self-correction.
THERAPY THAT HONORS THE WAY YOUR BRAIN WORKS
I identify as neuroqueer, a term that reflects both my lived experience and the way I understand the relationship between neurodivergence and identity. My approach is neurodiversity-affirming, LGBTQIA+-affirming, gender-affirming, relational, and grounded in curiosity rather than compliance.
Together we’ll explore the patterns you’ve developed over years of adapting, masking, surviving, and trying to fit environments that were never designed with your nervous system in mind.
That might include conversations about identity, relationships (including polyamory and ENM), executive functioning, sensory differences, trauma, burnout, communication, boundaries, or simply what it feels like to stop performing and begin living more authentically.
Therapy isn’t about teaching you to become more “normal.” It’s about helping you understand yourself well enough that your life begins to fit you instead.
If you’re looking for neurodivergent therapy in Seattle or anywhere in Washington through telehealth, I’d be happy to see if we’re a good fit.

frequently asked questions
-
Executive functioning refers to the mental processes that help us organize, plan, begin tasks, regulate emotions, shift attention, and follow through. When executive functioning is difficult, even everyday responsibilities can require enormous effort. It isn’t a measure of intelligence, motivation, or character.
-
Therapy can’t change the way your brain is wired, but it can help you better understand how your brain works. Together we can reduce shame, explore patterns that have developed over time, and build systems that fit your life instead of constantly asking you to fit someone else’s expectations.
-
Neurodivergent burnout is more than feeling tired. It can develop after years of masking, adapting, pushing through, or living in environments that don’t support the way your brain works. Burnout may affect thinking, emotions, energy, communication, sensory experiences, and everyday functioning.
-
No. Some people come to therapy with a diagnosis, while others are questioning whether ADHD, autism, or another form of neurodivergence helps explain their experiences. You don’t need a diagnosis to begin exploring what has made life feel harder than it seemed to be for everyone else.
-
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.
-
My work is psychotherapy rather than coaching. While we may explore practical strategies, therapy focuses on understanding the emotional, relational, and nervous system experiences that shape executive functioning—not simply becoming more productive.
-
Yes. I provide secure online therapy for adults throughout Washington State.
