Therapy for Autistic, AuDHD & Neurodivergent Women
You've spent your life being told you're too sensitive. Too much. Overreacting. Maybe someone close to you has used those exact words against you. Now you're trying to sort out what was the relationship, what was masking, and what was always just you. Late-diagnosed, self-suspecting, or still connecting the dots — you don't need a label to start.

Something Feels Off, Even If You Can’t Fully Explain It Yet
You don’t recognize yourself anymore. Maybe you haven’t for quite a while.
On the outside, things may look fine—but internally, you’re shaky and unsettled. You may feel emotionally drained, on edge, or like you’re barely holding it together in your relationship.
You can’t always make sense of it, but you can definitely feel it: things are way harder than they’re supposed to be. How did it get so bad?
You Might Experience Things Like:
Feeling like you’re walking on eggshells or carefully managing conversations to avoid conflict
Second-guessing your thoughts, feelings, or decisions more than you used to
Struggling to speak up or say no
Feeling anxious or emotionally activated most of the time
Taking on responsibility for how others feel while ignoring your own needs
Pulling away from friends/family or feeling like they wouldn’t understand
Physical stress responses like fatigue, headaches, or stomach upset
A sense of self-doubt that’s hard to shake
Hi, I’m Amanda.
GENUINE. COMPASSIONATE. EXPERIENCED.
I’m a licensed clinical social worker and trauma therapist who helps autistic, AuDHD, and neurodivergent women who are struggling with anxiety and people-pleasing or are experiencing emotionally complex, painful, or controlling relationships find clarity and healing.
Many of the women I work with are feeling overwhelmed, second-guessing themselves, or unsure why their relationships feel so emotionally draining or like they’re tiptoeing through a minefield.
You may feel unsure about talking to a therapist—or even saying out loud what's happening. That's okay. I can help, and I’ll meet you exactly where you are.
How I Help
-
Therapy for Late-Diagnosed Autistic & AuDHD Women
You're untangling what was masking, what was trauma, and what was always just you. A formal diagnosis isn’t required. We’ll start with your actual life and unique experiences, not a checklist.
-
Emotional & Narcissistic Abuse Therapy
The harder you try to please, the more demands are made. You’re losing touch with your own needs, boundaries, and reality. Together we’ll figure out the patterns and heal the wounds that are keeping you stuck.
-
Anxiety & People-Pleasing Therapy
You twist yourself into knots trying to please everyone, but no matter what you do, the anxiety just won’t stop. I’ll help you slow things down and build the confidence you need to set boundaries, be yourself and have healthier relationships.
-
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a gentle, structured way to process painful memories without retelling them in detail using eye movements and visual imagery.
You’re not overreacting. What you’re feeling is real. Let’s talk about how I can help you make sense of it and learn to trust yourself again.
