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've been running on fumes. You may feel emotionally drained, sensory overloaded, or like you've been holding it all together for so long you're not sure who you are anymore.
You can't always make sense of it, but you’ve always felt it: everything is way harder for you than it seems to be for other people.
And no one else seems to understand why.
You Might Experience Things Like:
Walking on eggshells, scripting conversations, or carefully managing how you say things to avoid setting someone off
Second-guessing your thoughts, feelings, and decisions even more than you used to
A nervous system that feels like it's been running on high alert for years
Sensory overload that you used to push through — but can't anymore
Taking on responsibility for everyone else's feelings while losing track of your own needs
Exhaustion that sleep doesn't fix
Pulling away from friends and family, or feeling like they wouldn't get it
A growing sense that you've been masking your way through your own life
You don't need a label for what you've been living through or for who you are to recognize yourself in any of this.
Hi, I’m Amanda.
AUDHD. NEURODIVERSITY-AFFIRMING. 25 YEARS IN.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, trauma therapist and an AuDHD woman myself. I work with autistic, AuDHD, and neurodivergent women recovering from emotional abuse, relational trauma, and autistic burnout — the kind that doesn't have a name in most therapy offices.
Many of the women I see are second-guessing every reaction, exhausted from masking, and tired of explaining themselves to therapists who don't quite get it.
You don't have to mask in here. You don't have to come with the right words. We can figure out what's actually going on together.
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 "too much." You're not "too sensitive." You're not overreacting. Let's talk about what's actually been happening — and who you've been all along.
