Therapy for Neurodivergent Women
You're not too much, too sensitive, or broken. You've just been masking for a long time.
Many women learn they're neurodivergent late, after years of being called too sensitive, disorganized, or intense, or after a child's diagnosis points the way. ADHD and autism often look different in women, and many of us spent years masking to get through school, work, and motherhood. The exhaustion of that is real.
My training includes trauma and neuroaffirming support, and I'll meet you with curiosity rather than a checklist. Therapy here isn't about making you less of yourself. It's about understanding how your brain works, easing burnout and shame, and building a life that fits you. If you're wondering whether you might be neurodivergent, we can talk it through, and I can point you toward a qualified evaluator if you'd like a formal assessment.
A good fit if
- You're exhausted from masking and trying to seem 'fine'
- You were diagnosed late, or you're wondering if ADHD or autism could explain a lot
- The mental load, time, and emotional intensity of daily life feel overwhelming
- Sensory overload with kids, noise, or a full schedule leaves you depleted
- You carry shame about being 'too much' or not enough
What to expect
- An affirming approach that never treats your brain as the problem
- Practical strategies for overwhelm, routines, and rest that fit how you work
- Work on burnout, shame, and the stories you picked up along the way
- Support whether you're parenting neurodivergent kids, neurodivergent yourself, or both
- In person in Fairfax or virtually anywhere in Virginia
