What I provide
Neurodivergence focused therapy
Hello friend,
My name is Nat (pronouns: they/them/their). Click here to learn more about me.
Do you feel overwhelmed every day? Are you tired of feeling misunderstood by those around you? Have others described you as “weird,” “difficult,” or “overly sensitive”? I’ve been there!
I help both diagnosed and undiagnosed autistic adults and AuDHD-ers feel heard and understood. As an AuDHD-er myself, I know how challenging it is to navigate life as a neurodivergent person in a world built for neurotypicals.
I personally understand the struggles of forming and maintaining close relationships, experiencing Persistent Drive for Autonomy (PDA), coping with Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD), and embracing our highly sensitive nature. My neurodivergence centered, compassion-focused approach, rooted in neuroscience-based low demand approach to nervous system regulation, meets you where you are and supports you on your journey of self-discovery.
Services
Authentic, strength-based support to help you thrive.
Therapy for Neurodivergent Folks
I can help you learn more about your diagnosis or self-diagnosis, as well as neurodivergence in general. I can support you in managing meltdowns or shutdowns due to overstimulation, exploring ways to find neurodivergent joy (e.g., stimming, special interests, hyperfixations, etc.), addressing social anxiety, and navigating communication challenges in your relationships. Learn more here.
Therapy for LGBTQIA+ Folks
As a trans and queer person myself, I can support you in exploring your gender identity and navigating transitioning. I can also help you address gender dysphoria struggles, work with managing coming out dynamics, and help you process the impact of transphobia and queerphobia that many of us face. Learn more here.
Relationship Therapy
I work with neurodivergent, queer, and trans couples, as well as those in non-monogamous relationships. I blend attachment-based work, my training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), my diverse lived experiences, and familiarity with various relationship structures to help you build strong, lasting bonds and navigate everyday relationship challenges. Learn more here.
Disability Support
My role is to support you in navigating BC Disability Assistance (PWD) applications, Canada-wide Disability Tax Credit (DTC) applications, or any accommodations you may need for school or work. This includes helping you fully understand the requirements, gather and prepare the necessary documentation, and ensure that everything is completed accurately and efficiently. Learn more here.
