Mental Health Support for
Late Diagnosed Autistic Adults
To accept yourself, drop the mask, and learn to live in a way that works for you.
AUTISM & NEURODIVERGENCE COUNSELINGWhether you have a formal diagnosis, recently discovered you're autistic, or are still in the middle of figuring it out, things can finally start to make sense. You weren't broken. You were making sense of a world that wasn't built for you. Now you get to understand yourself on your own terms, and I'm here to support you through it.
DO ANY OF THESE SOUND FAMILIAR?
YOU’RE NOT ALONE IN THIS
Whether you have a diagnosis or a hunch —
your experience is real.
Some people arrive here with a formal diagnosis in hand. Others come with a self-diagnosis they're fully confident in. And some arrive with something harder to name, a growing sense that the neurodivergent lens explains a lot about their life, even if they're still working out what that means. Wherever you are, we start there together.
What many share is this: relief mixed with overwhelm. Finally, an explanation. And then a hundred new questions at once. Who was I before I knew? Who am I now? Why did it take so long? What do I do with all the years I spent thinking something was fundamentally wrong with me?
Most have already tried therapy. Many have been told their struggles are anxiety, depression, "just overthinking", or offered surface-level strategies that didn't stick because they were never designed for the way your mind and body actually work.
This is a different kind of support. Not because I have a checklist of autism strategies, but because I understand this experience from the inside.
What you might be carrying right now
WHAT MIGHT HAVE BROUGHT YOU HERE
You don't have to arrive with clarity. Most people don't. We figure it out together
🌊
Overwhelm that's hard to explain
Things that seem easy for others feel enormous. You're not being dramatic. Your nervous system is working overtime, and it has been for a long time.
🪞
Identity confusion post-diagnosis
A late diagnosis can rewrite your entire history. That's disorienting. We'll take time to make sense of your story with new eyes, without rushing past the complexity.
🎭
A lifetime of masking
Performing "normal" so long you've lost track of who you actually are underneath. We'll work gently toward unmasking, not as a destination, but as a slow return to yourself.
💬
Therapy that didn't land
You've been to other therapists. They meant well. But you spent more time explaining yourself than actually being understood. That's not what happens here.
🔥
Burnout — the deep kind
Not just tired. Not just stressed. The kind of depletion that happens when you've been running on the wrong fuel for years. Recovery is possible, but it starts with being honest about what caused it.
🌱
A desire to finally change something
You know something needs to shift. You're not sure what yet. That's exactly where we start, without a script, without a predetermined outcome, just honest exploration.
How Does It Work
Explore our range of services designed to help you move forward with confidence, wherever you're headed next.
-
We start by landing. Exploring your story, understanding what kept happening, what never quite made sense. Together we look at your past and present through the lens of your neurodivergent experience, and things start to click into place.
Sometimes there's a lot to process. We give it the space it needs.
-
This is about dropping the story and the mask that was never really you, and building a life that actually works for you.
That means working with your nervous system instead of against it. Less overwhelm, more clarity, a life that feels like yours. We develop practical skills drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, somatic awareness, and others, all with neurodivergence at the center.
-
We complete the work when you feel confident in who you are and what you need, with the skills to keep going on your own.
My goal is to accompany you along the way as you make this healthy transformation.
