For late-diagnosed neurodivergent people—those with ADHD, autism, or both—life can feel like a constant balancing act between your creativity, insight, and potential... and the overwhelm, emotional fatigue, and internal pressure that seem to come with it. You may have spent years feeling out of sync with the world around you—masking, overcompensating, or wondering why things seem harder for you than they do for others. Let’s rewrite that story. Together, we’ll create space for you to live with more ease, clarity, and self-trust.
​Ways This Might Show Up in Your Life:
​​
-
Feeling overwhelmed by everyday tasks but stuck when trying to start them.
-
Strong emotions that rise quickly and feel hard to manage or explain, including intense sensitivity to perceived rejection or criticism (Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria).
-
A persistent drive to maintain control and autonomy, sometimes leading to resistance against demands or expectations (often called Pathological Demand Avoidance).
-
Struggling with transitions—starting, stopping, or shifting gears.
-
Sensory sensitivity to noise, texture, or bright lights.
-
Social exhaustion or overanalyzing interactions.
-
Forgetting steps mid-task or losing your train of thought.
-
Avoiding important tasks by focusing on less urgent ones.
-
Apologizing often, fearing you're "too much" or not enough.
-
Shame from past misunderstandings or feeling “different” your whole life.​
Therapy can help you:
​
-
Heal from the internalized shame of being misunderstood, dismissed, or labeled “too sensitive” or “too much.”
-
Understand and manage the intense emotional waves that come with Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria.
-
Explore and honor your deep need for autonomy—especially if expectations or demands often feel overwhelming or triggering (sometimes called Pathological Demand Avoidance).
-
Learn to recognize and trust your unique ways of thinking, sensing, and responding.
-
Build practical, shame-free systems that support your energy, attention, and executive functioning.
-
Let go of perfectionism and comparison, and build a more grounded relationship with yourself.
-
Strengthen your voice in relationships and advocate for your needs with confidence and self-compassion.
-
Develop mindfulness and regulation tools to help you pause, assess what’s truly important, and calm sensory or emotional overwhelm.
