ADHD

ADHD isn’t just about attention—it often shows up as overwhelm, inconsistency, emotional intensity, and a constant sense of “I should be doing better than this.” Many adults have spent years masking, overcompensating, or internalizing the belief that they’re lazy, scattered, or unreliable.

Therapy focuses on understanding how your brain actually works, not forcing it into systems that were never designed for you. We work on executive functioning, emotional regulation, and reducing the shame that tends to build up over time.

Autism

Many autistic adults—especially those who are late diagnosed—have spent years masking, adapting, and trying to make sense of why things feel harder than they “should.” This often leads to burnout, identity confusion, and a deep sense of disconnection.

This work isn’t about changing who you are. It’s about understanding your needs, reducing masking where it’s no longer serving you, and building a life that actually fits how you’re wired.

OCD

OCD is often misunderstood as just being “anxious” or “particular,” but it’s typically driven by intrusive thoughts, uncertainty, and a strong need to prevent something from going wrong or being wrong. That can lead to cycles of overthinking, reassurance-seeking, or mental and behavioral compulsions that are exhausting to maintain.

In therapy, we work on understanding how OCD operates for you and building the capacity to tolerate uncertainty without getting pulled deeper into those cycles. I am trained in I-CBT and IFS for OCD (rooted in ERP). If you are looking for a therapist trained in standard ERP, let me know and I would be more than happy to provide referrals.

Sensory Processing

Sensory processing differences are also a significant part of many autistic and neurodivergent experiences. This can show up as feeling easily overwhelmed by noise, light, textures, or environments—or the opposite, where you’re seeking more input to feel regulated.

Rather than trying to “push through” or override those responses, we work on understanding your sensory profile and building a life that better supports your nervous system.
