A neurodiversity-affirming practice

Every service on this page starts from the same stance: neurodivergence is a difference to understand and build around, not a deficit to correct. Goals here are never about making a child look more typical, more compliant, or easier to manage — they're about helping a child understand how their own brain and body actually work, and build real confidence in that.

That means a child's stimming, sensory needs, and intensity don't get framed as behavior to eliminate. Goals get built with a child, not just about one. And no family is asked to work toward masking — the exhausting, invisible work of hiding who you are so you're easier for everyone else to be around.

This practice is also informed by Lindsey Mack's neurocomplexity model, a strengths-based way of thinking about neurodivergence that centers a person's interests and unique wiring instead of sorting them into diagnostic categories. You can read more about that framework here.

This isn't an abstract commitment. I'm AuDHD myself, and this practice was built by someone who's lived on both sides of being misunderstood and of finally being understood.

Who I specialize in

A lot of the kids who end up here have already been through therapy that didn't quite work not because the effort wasn't there, but because the approach wasn't built for how they actually work.

That's especially true for girls, who are still routinely missed by screening tools built around how boys present. It's true for high-masking kids, who've learned to hold it together at school and fall apart the second they get home, so nobody sees what that's actually costing them. And it's true for twice-exceptional kids gifted and neurodivergent at once, the ones who get told they're "too smart to be struggling this much," when the two things were never in conflict to begin with.

It's also true for LGBTQIA+ and gender-diverse kids and teens, who show up here more often than most people would guess the overlap between neurodivergence and queer or trans identity is well documented, and too often one gets treated as though it explains away the other. This is an affirming space, full stop: who a kid is doesn't get sorted out or minimized before we get to the actual work.

That focus doesn't stop at childhood. I also love working with late-diagnosed adults as we rebuild their health and sense of self after burnout, and redefining what life looks like once masking finally gets set down.

If your kid has already been through a program or two and something still didn't click, that's usually the sign you're in the right place, not the wrong one.
