Lifestyle Coaching for Neurodivergent Adults

What I Do

I offer non-clinical lifestyle coaching for neurodivergent adults and couples who feel out of alignment in their relationships, work, or daily lives — often without a formal diagnosis and without a medical or pathologizing framework.

I support individuals and neurodivergent couples navigating transitions, burnout, health-related life changes, and relationship challenges. My work focuses on

  • understanding masking

  • overcompensating

  • blind spots as adaptive strategies

  • help clients build lives and relationships that are sustainable and authentic

 

As a neurodivergent person myself, I bring lived experience and over eight years of specialized work with this population, offering grounded, practical, and deeply empathetic coaching.

  • Education that helps clients make sense of their experiences

  • Teach life skills that can be practically applied in your daily life

  • Perspective and reflection to clarify priorities and next steps

  • Support and encouragement during periods of uncertainty or transition

  • Practical guidance for building sustainable routines, boundaries, and relationships

My approach is educational, collaborative, and forward-focused. I draw from professional training and lived experience, sharing personal insights when helpful—not as prescriptions, but as examples that normalize difficulty and reinforce clients’ belief in their own capacity for change.

My Approach

My coaching philosophy emphasizes:

  • Agency over diagnosis

  • Understanding over labeling

  • Choice over compliance

  • Capacity-building over fixing

The goal is not to eliminate discomfort, but to help clients move through change with steadiness, perspective, and confidence.

Coaching vs. Therapy (Scope of Services)

Although I am a licensed psychotherapist, the services offered on this website are lifestyle coaching, not psychotherapy.

Lifestyle coaching focuses on education, insight, goal clarification, and intentional life changes. It does not involve diagnosing or treating mental health conditions, processing trauma, or providing clinical mental health care.

Psychotherapy is a regulated healthcare service with a different scope, purpose, and ethical framework. Coaching clients are not considered therapy clients.

If it becomes clear that psychotherapy or another form of clinical care would be more appropriate, I will support you in seeking those resources.

Coaching Services

Coaching is offered remotely to adults and may include:

  • One-on-one coaching sessions

  • Short-term support during transitions

  • Ongoing coaching for lifestyle

Specific offerings and availability are discussed during an initial consultation.
