The threat you felt wasn’t irrational. Your nervous system had a reason.”
It is the accumulated emotional and nervous system stress that develops when a neurodivergent person grows up in environments that misunderstand, invalidate, or punish their natural traits.
Many adults spent years masking their differences to survive socially — suppressing stimming, forcing eye contact, overanalyzing conversations, and pushing through sensory overwhelm — often without knowing that their brain is differently wired.
Over time, repeated experiences of bullying, rejection, misdiagnosis, or being labeled “too sensitive” or “difficult” can create chronic anxiety, shame, hypervigilance, and burnout.
For late-diagnosed adults, especially, there is often grief for the years spent feeling broken instead of understood.
The trauma isn’t a flaw; it’s the long-term impact of navigating a world that wasn’t built to accommodate deep processing.
And I know how it feels to be a divergent thinker.
That’s why my work has been to find the balance between being with clients in their emotions and staying grounded in my own body.
I constantly fall back on my experience as a queer and neurodivergent trauma survivor, which enables me to lend my nuanced understanding to my clients’ lived realities.
I practise a style that is straightforward, intuitive, empathetic, open-minded, and warm.
Because I believe that healing is more about empowerment than mere symptom reduction.
Discover an approach that honors the different parts of your self living with trauma, longing, or fear…
Help your internal voices come into dialogue so you can move toward greater harmony
Instead of trying to push downe masking, hypervigilance, or shutdown responses, we’ll gently explore the protective role each “part” has played in keeping you safe.
Together, we can help these parts release the burdens of shame, fear, and overcompensation they’ve been carrying for years
I’ll help you understand that these adaptations were intelligent responses — not flaws — so you can reconnect with the core self beneath them: YOU — capable, worthy, and whole
