Therapy for Late-Diagnosed Autism &/or ADHD

Therapy available for Colorado Residents & Coaching/Consulting available Worldwide

It can be exhausting, discouraging, and overwhelming living in a world that feels like it wasn't made for you.

Many Late-Diagnosed Autistic and/or ADHD clients feel stuck repeating the same painful patterns.

Perhaps you can relate.

Maybe your creativity is nonexistent or you're noticing that you complain a lot about feeling stressed, tired, and unfulfilled.

Stuck in negativity and feeling out of control, you may feel like life is overwhelming, like it's all too much.

Do You Feel Stressed, Ashamed, Overwhelmed?

Do any of the following resonate with you?

  • You feel like you're drowning in the tasks of daily living, like you can never catch your breath or are constantly behind.

  • You struggle with feeling like you can be "yourself" in relationships and constantly worry about being rejected by those who are close to you.

  • You know that you would benefit from support or accommodations, but you feel unsure of what to ask for or how to ask for it.

  • You have a million things that you want to do but feel like you can never accomplish anything.

  • You find it difficult to express and identify your emotions and/or have experienced intense emotional meltdowns.

If these sound true for you, I want you to know that you might feel embarrassed to open up about what you’re really going through, even to family and friends. Therapy provides a non-judgemental space for you to talk freely about what’s bothering you. Even if you don't believe you deserve care, you do. You deserve to take care of yourself.

FAQs

  • Therapy/coaching can provide a dedicated space in your life to prioritize your emotional needs/wellbeing, learn tools for actionable self-care, and engage in unmasking and self-accommodating so that your life is set up for your success rather trying to fit yourself into a neurotypical template.

    I love supporting late-diagnosed Autistic &/or ADHD folks as they integrate this new part of their identity.

    Whether it involves processing previous traumas, unlearning internalized oppression, learning more about your emotions and needs and how to advocate for them, or building actionable systems of self-care... I am here to support you every step of the way.

  • I am open to working with all Autistic and/or ADHD folks, whether or not they are diagnosed late.

    If you feel like I would be a good fit for you, I encourage you to set up a consultation!

  • Here are some examples of topics that we could address together:

    • unmasking/finding ways to be authentic in relationships

    • building awareness of burnout markers and strategies for reducing cycles of neurodivergent burnout

    • learning about and implementing accommodations (self-accommodation, interpersonal/relational accommodation, and systemic accommodations)

    • navigating skill regression & grief-process around loss of abled-privilege

    • building neurodivergent-friendly systems that support your unique needs

  • That’s okay too!

    One of the primary reasons that Autism and/or ADHD is one of my specialties is that I want folks who are neurodivergent to be able to find me.

    Having said that, my style is neurodiversity-affirming, and I love when I get to work with neurodivergent folks who see Autism/ADHD as just a part of who they are, rather than a problem to be solved.

    So if you’re Autistic and/or ADHD and want to work on Trauma, Anxiety/Panic, Spiritual Identity Development, or Body Image/Self-Esteem, I would love to talk about working together!

  • Generally, our time together consists of 50-minute, one-on-one sessions.

    In addition to listening, I will provide guidance based on my experience and share what the science tells us about what's going on for you.

    Here’s how it will work step-by-step:

    1. First, I provide a safe, accepting space so that you will feel comfortable sharing your struggles with me.
    2. Through hearing your story, I will start to get a picture of what your challenges are.
    3. We will start with helping you with immediate concerns like managing difficult emotions and challenging life situations.
    4. We will also work to discover what your goals are in therapy and in life.
    5. Keeping your unique goals in mind, we’ll figure out what’s needed to help you reach them
    6. Over the course of our sessions, you will start making progress towards the life you desire.

    Each person is different, and so is their healing process!
