I help newly (self) diagnosed AuDHD'ers find connection with self and others through radical self-exploration.

Being neurodivergent is cool! Figuring out you’re neurodivergent is confusing AF.  Maybe you recently got diagnosed with ADHD or maybe you recently had that “OMG AM I AUTISTIC?!” moment. Either way, you may be feeling like you are in a vortex of information and feelings - like you can’t figure out which way is up and you’re feeling really lonely and isolated while you try to figure it all out. 

Do you feel like you are trying to make jazz music in a world that insists upon classical? Do you have a hard time being gentle on yourself when overwhelmed by small things like overhead lighting, running late, going to the grocery store? Do you find yourself questioning social rules like why do I have to smile at strangers? Why are pjs not acceptable adult clothing? 

Do you perceive yourself or have been perceived by others as “too sensitive” or a chronic “overthinker”? Have you felt as though others might be missing something or arent seeing the world through the same lens? 

For me landing on the label auDhd allowed me to see myself for the first time as something separate from my struggles. I wasn’t “unorganized” I was “focused on everything at once” in a way that makes me a great listener. I didn’t “have a difficulty focusing”, I was “focused on what fascinated me” like reading and drawing and creating art which in my life has wholly allowed me to find and feel my feelings. I wasn’t “struggling to sit still”, I was using my body to somatically self-regulate and sometimes just to experience joy! I didn’t “get obsessed with things”, I was hugely passionate about very specific things like sims, fashion design/ sewing, and human sexuality, all of which deeply inform my therapeutic approach/ lens and continue to be “special interests” that allow me to explore patterns in a serious but playful way. I don’t have “pathological demand avoidance” autism, I have a sensitivity to “persistent demand” placed on individuals in modern society (like capitalism, sexism, racism, government structures, the prison system, etc.). 

As an AuDHD therapist I hope to support you in finding your own path to self exploration/ understanding. It can be confusing sorting through piles of Instagram posts, tiktok therapists, and self diagnosis quizzes in trying to figure out what label/ box we fit in best and I want to provide a space to allow self- reflection on the therapeutic process, the diagnostic system, and our own individual ways of self evaluation in order to allow you the full picture of how you want to definite yourself in a post-capitalist world.
