Neurodiversity Affirming Therapy | Fair Lawn, NJ
“Why Does Everything Feel So Much Harder for Me?”
You might find yourself constantly second-guessing how you think, feel, or show up in the world. Maybe you struggle with sensory overload, burnout, emotional regulation, or communication—especially in relationships, parenting, or work. You’ve been told you’re “too much,” “too sensitive,” “not trying hard enough,” or “just need to be more flexible.” But the truth is, you’re navigating a world that wasn’t built with your brain in mind. You’re not broken—you’re exhausted from trying to fit into spaces that don’t fit you.
You’re Not the Only One Feeling This Way
So many neurodivergent people carry this same invisible weight. Whether you’ve had a diagnosis for years or are just beginning to wonder if your brain works a little differently, you’re far from alone. ADHD, autism, sensory processing differences, and complex emotional needs are more common than many realize—and so are the misunderstandings that come with them. There is nothing wrong with needing support. There’s something deeply human about it.
Therapy That Honors the Way You Think, Feel, and Move Through the World
In neurodiversity-affirming therapy, we don’t try to “fix” who you are. Instead, we explore your strengths, needs, and challenges in a space that’s free from shame or judgment. I use a trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming lens—integrating schema therapy, relational work, and somatic tools—to help you make sense of your experiences, reduce overwhelm, and build tools that actually work for your brain. Therapy with me is collaborative, respectful, and grounded in deep acceptance.
“But What If Therapy Makes Me Feel Worse?”
Maybe past therapy didn’t feel safe. Maybe you masked the whole time, felt misunderstood, or ended up feeling more broken instead of better. Or maybe you’re worried this will just be another space where you’re asked to conform. That’s valid. In this work, your autonomy, pacing, and sensory needs matter. We’ll move in a way that feels manageable—and you won’t be pressured to be anyone but yourself.
You Deserve to Feel Understood—Just As You Are
It’s possible to build a life that feels less overwhelming, more authentic, and deeply aligned with who you are. You don’t have to keep surviving on shutdowns, masking, or endless burnout. You can feel grounded, seen, and supported. If you’re ready to try something different—something more human, more respectful, and more affirming—I’d love to walk that path with you.
