Autism support for adults and teens, from someone who gets it.
Maybe you've always felt a step out of sync, reading the room a beat behind, exhausted by socialising in ways others don't seem to be, or masking so constantly that you're not always sure where the mask ends. Being autistic isn't a flaw to be fixed. It's a different, valid way of experiencing the world, and understanding it can be a genuine relief.
What this can look like
Exhaustion after socialising, even when you enjoyed it.
Masking, copying, scripting, and managing yourself to fit in, until you're depleted.
Sensory experiences that others brush off but you feel intensely.
A deep need for routine, or distress when things change unexpectedly.
Feeling "too much" and "not enough" at the same time.
Autism often looks different in women, in adults, and in people who've learned to mask, which is exactly why it's so often missed until later in life.
How I can help
I work from a neuro-affirming standpoint. The goal is never to make you "less autistic", but to help you understand yourself, work with how you're wired, ease the toll of masking, and build a life that fits you. Whether you're exploring whether you might be autistic, recently identified, or supporting your teen, we start wherever you are.
I don't provide formal autism diagnostic assessments, a formal diagnosis usually involves several health professionals working together. What I can offer is a supportive, neuro-affirming space to explore your experiences, understand yourself better, and get support that fits, whether or not you pursue a formal diagnosis elsewhere.
