If you are tired of feeling frustrated and misunderstood, let me help you discover new ways of meaning-making and new habits of mind. Perhaps the idea of rewriting your story appeals to you. I am a nerdy, irreverent, over-achieving, Twice-Exceptional (2E) counselor and advocate for late-identified neurodivergent folx. I would be honored to walk beside you for a while as you learn to tend to and celebrate your differences.
If you're in Texas, please check out my website or send me an email to see if we're a good fit.
