Individual Therapy for High-Functioning Neurodivergent Adults

Solutions-Focused Support for ADHD, Autism & Analytical Thinkers

You're successful on paper. You've built compensation systems. People think you're "fine."

The effort required to maintain that facade is unsustainable.

You've tried conventional therapy. They focused on feelings without giving you actionable strategies. They treated ADHD/autism like something to "cope with" rather than understanding it as fundamental to how you operate.

You don't need someone to validate that life is hard. You need systems that actually work for your brain.

You're dealing with:

→ Late discovery reframing everything. You got diagnosed with ADHD or autism in your 30s, 40s, 50s. Everything makes sense now—and nothing makes sense. Who are you without the mask? What parts of your personality are "you" vs. learned compensation? The relief is real. So is the grief and anger.

→ Executive function dysfunction despite high intelligence. You can solve complex problems at work but can't make yourself do laundry. Starting tasks feels impossible. Time blindness means chronic lateness and missed deadlines. You know what needs to be done—executive function doesn't cooperate.

→ Burnout from chronic masking. You've spent decades performing "normal." Reading social cues manually. Suppressing stims. Forcing eye contact. Pretending you're not overwhelmed. It's not sustainable anymore. You don't know who you are without the performance.

→ Emotional dysregulation. ADHD emotional flooding—fine to completely overwhelmed in seconds. Rejection sensitivity dysphoria turning minor criticism into devastating personal attack. Autistic shutdowns when overstimulated. You feel everything intensely or nothing at all. There's no middle ground.

→ Relationship failures you don't fully understand. Romantic relationships end for reasons that seem vague. You forget to text back and friendships fade. Dating feels like performing a script you never learned. You're lonely but socializing is exhausting.

→ Internalized shame and perfectionism. Years of being told you're "too sensitive," "lazy," "not trying hard enough." You've built compensatory systems held together by anxiety and perfectionism. You're terrified of what happens if you stop overperforming.

→ Identity crisis. Now that you understand the neurodivergence, what parts are ADHD/autism? What parts are trauma responses from years of misunderstanding yourself? What's actually you?

Who This Works For

You're a good fit if:

✓ You're an analytical, pragmatic, or neurodivergent thinker
✓ You want practical systems and measurable progress
✓ You're willing to implement strategies between sessions
✓ You can handle direct feedback about what needs to change
✓ You value efficiency—you want targeted work, not years of therapy

This doesn't fit if:

✗ You want pure validation without behavioral change
✗ You're looking for diagnosis (I provide therapy, not assessments)
✗ You're unwilling to examine how your patterns contribute to problems
✗ You want someone to just tell you what to do without your input

• High-achieving professionals with executive dysfunction

• Engineers, programmers, researchers, scientists

• Tech workers and analytical professionals

• Burnout survivors questioning if they can keep performing

• Adults who've masked successfully but can't sustain it anymore

• People frustrated by generic therapy that doesn't understand neurodivergence
