THERAPIST FOR NEURODIVERGENCE IN LOS FELIZ
From masking to authenticity: honoring your neurodivergent mind.
Maybe you were the "sensitive one," the quiet observer, or the kid who masked to fit in. Now, as an adult, you might be discovering (or rediscovering) your identity through the lens of ADHD, autism, or other forms of neurodivergence. And it’s bringing both relief and grief.
You’ve spent years working hard to manage the overwhelm, the self-doubt, the burnout, the inner chaos—and now you’re ready to understand yourself with more compassion.
Hi, I’m Emma!
Therapy can help you embrace your wiring, not fight it.
For neurodivergent adults, life often feels like a constant push against the current, trying to fit in or force yourself into molds that were never designed for you. Therapy offers a different approach. Instead of trying to change who you are, you learn to understand, honor, and work with your unique wiring.
You will develop strategies to manage overwhelm, navigate relationships, and reduce self-criticism while cultivating a deeper sense of self-compassion and acceptance. The goal is not just coping, it is thriving as your authentic, neurodivergent self.
In therapy for neurodivergence, we can:
Explore your late-diagnosis journey with gentleness and clarity
Unpack internalized ableism, shame, and the pressure to "mask"
Build self-trust, routines, and boundaries that actually work for you
Understand your sensory, emotional, and relational needs
Reclaim your energy for joy, creativity, and connection
How I Work
My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and rooted in curiosity and compassion. I integrate modalities like
✓ EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
to help you process stuck trauma and shift long-held beliefs
✓ IFS (Internal Family Systems)
to build a deeper relationship with your inner parts and restore self-trust
✓ Mindfulness and somatic practices
to bring awareness and regulation to your nervous system
✓ Attachment-focused talk therapy
to heal relationship wounds and reconnect with your core self
Together, we’ll move at your pace. Some sessions might focus on skills and tools for the present moment. Others might go deeper—gently exploring your past to understand how it shows up now.
