Who I work with
I work with couples where one or both partners identify as:
- Autistic / on the autism spectrum
- ADHD / AuDHD
- Highly sensitive, introverted, or otherwise neurodivergent
What Makes Neurodiverse Relationships Different?
- Different communication styles — one partner may prefer direct, literal language, while the other values emotional nuance.
- Sensory or social differences that affect shared time, affection, or physical closeness.
- Distinct approaches to routines, planning, and flexibility.
- Misunderstandings around empathy or intent, even when both partners care deeply.
Please contact me to get support in navigating any of these challenges
