AREAS OF FOCUS
Systems, Not Symptoms
We focus on how your wiring interacts with your environment and what operational systems can be built to account for that interaction.
ADHD
Most adults with ADHD who find me, often after a late diagnosis, have spent years running on an operating system the standard environment was not built to support. The messages are familiar: lazy, careless, not trying hard enough. In reality, your brain is processing reward, motivation, and executive function through a different neurobiological architecture. I specialize in making that architecture legible. We translate how your wiring actually works into operational systems that fit it. Not systems that force you to perform like someone else. Systems that account for how you function, so you can stop interpreting neurobiological mismatch as personal failure.
Anxiety
Many adults with ADHD or autism carry anxiety so chronic it feels like part of their identity. When your brain detects more sensory input, social threat, and environmental unpredictability, vigilance is a logical neurobiological output. The problem is not that you are anxious but that the environment does not account for your threat-sensitive nervous system. I map how your wiring processes risk and overload, then build systems that reduce inputs your brain is already managing. Not systems that demand calm or force exposure. Systems that account for your sensory needs, social wiring, and executive function, so you stop interpreting vigilance as a personal flaw.
Autism
For autistic adults, late or self-diagnosis usually follows years in a social and sensory world built for a different brain. The exhaustion is real: masking fatigue, identity confusion, and the work of calculating how much space you can take. Your brain processes sensory information, social signals, and daily demands through a different wiring system. I specialize in understanding how that wiring works and building practical systems that fit it. Not systems that ask you to mask harder or perform a version of normal. Systems that account for your sensory needs and social wiring, so you stop interpreting that mismatch as personal failure.
Neurodivergent Truma
Neurodivergent trauma rarely looks like traditional trauma, but the biological impact is the same. Years of masking, invalidation, and the belief that you are fundamentally broken have created a chronic biological load. Your nervous system did not malfunction. It adapted logically to an environment that was incompatible with your wiring. I specialize in mapping those adaptations and building practical systems that reduce the environmental load your brain is still managing. Not systems that demand you process the past or force exposure. Systems that fit your wiring and reduce the environmental load, so you stop seeing survival as a personal flaw.
RECOGNITION
If any of this sounds familiar...
You were the "gifted" kid who could never quite get it together.
•
The diagnosis explained everything and changed nothing about how hard things still are.
•
You've been called "high-functioning" — which just means no one sees how much you're struggling.
•
Basic tasks that seem easy for everyone else feel impossible for you.
•
You've been called "sensitive" so many times you started to believe it was a flaw.
•
You don't know what accommodations you actually need because you've never been allowed to need them.
•
You've been in therapy before, but it never quite addressed the real issue.
•
These patterns are not character flaws - they are neurobiological realities. And you're not too complicated for therapy. You just need a therapist who actually gets it.
ABOUT
Understanding neurodivergent experience from the inside out
I work exclusively with neurodivergent adults who have spent years adapting, masking, and wondering why certain things that seem effortless for others feel so hard. I bring clinical training and genuine understanding to this work.
My approach is collaborative, direct, and affirming. I won't pathologize how your mind works. We'll work on understanding it, working with it, and learning to stop fighting it.
I hold a Master's degree in Social Work and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Texas.
