Support for ADHD, Autism, and Neurodiverse Relationships
Are you and your partner struggling to connect, despite your best efforts? If one or both of you are neurodivergent—living with ADHD, autism, or other neurodivergent traits—traditional relationship advice often falls short. That’s where neurodivergent-affirming couples therapy can help.
As a couples therapist trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I help partners understand the emotional patterns driving disconnection—without pathologizing the way you think, feel, or relate. My approach focuses on building emotional safety and trust, even when communication styles, sensory needs, or processing speeds differ.
Common Challenges Neurodivergent Couples Face:
One partner shuts down or gets overwhelmed, while the other feels rejected
Emotional needs are missed or misread
Sensory overload, masking, or people-pleasing complicate connection
Conflict feels like it escalates fast—or never gets resolved
Through EFT, we focus on the underlying emotions and attachment needs beneath these moments. We’ll slow things down, create a shared understanding, and build a new path toward closeness that honors each partner’s neurotype.
A Space Where You Don’t Have to Mask
I welcome you as you are—whether you're newly exploring neurodivergence, self-diagnosed, or formally identified. In a world that often rewards masking, it's understandable that you've learned to hide parts of yourself to stay safe or be understood. But in therapy with me, you don’t have to do that. This is a space where stimming, needing silence, taking time to respond, or communicating differently isn’t just accepted—it’s understood. You’re invited to show up fully, without performing, over-explaining, or translating your experience.
Let’s Create a Relationship That Works for You
You don’t need to be “less sensitive” or “more logical.” You don’t need to communicate like someone else. You just need a space that helps you understand each other’s emotional world—and reconnect from a place of authenticity.
