Neurodivergence

What Is Neurodivergence?

Neurodivergence refers to natural variations in brain function, such as ADHD, autism, learning differences, sensory sensitivities, and unique cognitive or emotional patterns. These differences can shape how you process information, experience emotions, and interact with the world. Therapy offers a supportive space to better understand your strengths, challenges, and needs while helping you navigate daily life with greater confidence and self-acceptance.

Who Does Neurodivergence Affect?

Neurodivergence affects people of all ages and backgrounds. Many individuals grow up without recognition or support, while others receive a late-in-life diagnosis that brings both clarity and questions. Whether you’re newly exploring your identity or have always known you think differently, therapy can help you build tools that honour your unique wiring and make life feel more manageable and aligned.

Common Indicators

Neurodivergence can appear in many different ways, including:

• Difficulty with focus, organization, or executive functioning

• Sensory sensitivities or overstimulation

• Emotional intensity or challenges with regulation

• Social overwhelm or feeling “out of sync” with others

• Distinct learning patterns or communication styles

• Burnout from masking or trying to meet neurotypical expectations

• Feeling misunderstood, mismatched, or chronically drained

Our Approach

I believe therapy should feel comfortable and down to earth. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are, with warmth, curiosity, and compassion. You can expect that I’ll show up authentically in each session, giving you permission to bring your whole Self too.

At the core of my work is a foundation of mindfulness and self-compassion. These are approaches that invite you to understand yourself, rather than judge yourself. Through this lens, healing becomes less about “fixing” and more about coming home to who you truly are.
