Therapy for Neurodivergent Adults
Many adults who identify as autistic, ADHD, or otherwise neurodivergent describe feeling like they’ve spent years trying to fit into a world that doesn’t always fit them back. My goal is to create a space where you can better understand yourself, reduce overwhelm, and develop ways of living that feel aligned with your own rhythms and needs.
My work is neuroaffirming, which means I don’t see neurodivergence as something to fix or mask. Instead, therapy focuses on helping you build awareness, self-compassion, and practical tools for navigating daily life more comfortably.
My Approach
I use a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based strategies. These two approaches complement each other in meaningful ways.
CBT helps you notice patterns of thinking that might lead to frustration, self-doubt, or emotional distress. By identifying these patterns, you can begin to see where they come from and how to respond differently. Mindfulness helps you slow down and stay connected to what’s happening in the present moment—both in your body and in your thoughts—without judgment or pressure to change it right away.
When combined, CBT and mindfulness offer both structure and self-understanding. CBT provides concrete strategies for organization, motivation, and communication. Mindfulness adds calm, self-awareness, and a sense of choice. Together, they support a more balanced and compassionate relationship with your own mind.
What We Might Work On
Therapy for neurodivergent adults often includes topics such as:
Understanding and managing ADHD-related challenges with focus or follow-through
Processing autistic burnout or masking fatigue
Building routines that support executive functioning and energy regulation
Working through anxiety, stress, or perfectionism
Exploring identity, self-acceptance, and belonging
Improving communication and relationships
Developing self-care practices that actually work for your nervous system
What to Expect
Sessions are collaborative and paced according to what feels comfortable for you. Some clients come wanting to learn specific coping strategies or executive functioning skills, while others focus on identity exploration, burnout recovery, or emotional balance.
I typically meet with clients once a week, as this provides consistency and momentum for growth.
If you’re interested in starting therapy or want to learn more, please reach out to schedule a session. I’d be happy to connect and talk about what you’re hoping to work on.
Sessions are held online through a secure telehealth platform for clients in New Mexico and Texas.
Therapy for Neurodivergent Adults
I work with neurodivergent adults who are looking for thoughtful, practical support. Therapy with me is structured and collaborative. It’s focused on building insight, developing useful tools, and navigating real-life challenges with more clarity and confidence.
Many of the people I support are navigating ADHD, Autism, anxiety, or questions around identity and self-understanding. Some are processing the realization that they’re neurodivergent later in life, or feeling exhausted from years of adapting to meet others’ expectations. Therapy can also be a space to explore relationships, unhelpful patterns, and new ways to move through the world with more ease and authenticity.
My approach blends cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with mindfulness-based strategies. Sessions are active and goal-oriented, while still allowing space for reflection, curiosity, and care. I aim to create a space where you feel respected, understood, and supported in making meaningful shifts.
Therapy Isn’t Forever
I believe therapy should be supportive and time-limited. My goal isn’t to keep you in therapy indefinitely, but to help you build the tools, insight, and self-trust to move forward with more ease. We'll set clear goals and revisit them regularly, so when you're ready, you can step away feeling more grounded and capable.
Insurance & Self-Pay Options
I accept several major insurance plans—please visit the Accepted Insurance page to see if your plan is listed. I also offer a self-pay option for those who prefer to pay out of pocket or are not using insurance.
