About

In the neurodivergent community, there’s a metaphor that compares the neurodivergent experience in a neurotypical world to the experience of being a zebra in a world of horses. If you are neurodivergent, you’ve likely spent years in survival mode, camouflaging your traits in order to survive in a world designed by and for neurotypical brains. Behind your well-constructed facade, the shame, burnout, and isolation can feel overwhelming, and no planner or productivity hack you’ve ever tried makes a dent in the chaos. What if you weren’t broken, just different? In therapy, we'll work to build a life for you that works with your brain rather than against it. We'll dive into your special interests, whether those interests are board games, psychology, quantum physics, or world history. We’ll also talk about ways to cope with triggers and figure out tools to help reduce your distress in an often-hostile world.
