NEURODIVERGENT-AFFIRMING THERAPIST
Hi, I’m Sylvan
I know firsthand that living with ADHD, Autism, and Chronic Illness can mean navigating a world that wasn’t always designed with your needs in mind.
That lived experience shapes the way I practice therapy. I offer a space where you don’t have to mask, minimize what you’re experiencing, or explain why something that seems “simple” to someone else feels so hard.
My approach is neurodivergent-affirming, trauma-informed, creative, and grounded in curiosity, not judgment. Together, we can work with your brain and nervous system, not against them, while making room for the complexity of who you are.
You don’t need to become less sensitive, less complicated, or more “normal” to be worthy of support.

Do one of these sound like you?
"I understand why I feel this way, but knowing why hasn’t helped me feel different."
"I’m constantly overthinking, analyzing, and trying to get things ‘right,’ and I still feel stuck.”
"I know I’m overwhelmed, but I don’t always have the words for what I’m experiencing."
"My mind tells me I’m okay, but my body still feels anxious, tense, or on edge."
"I’ve gotten very good at appearing capable, even when I’m exhausted underneath."
"I’m ready for therapy that works with my neurodivergent brain and nervous system, too."
I'M HERE FOR YOU
Getting Started with Neurodivergent-Affirming Therapy
Therapy for Autistic and ADHD adults who are tired of masking, overthinking, sensory overwhelm, and constantly pushing through.
I keep the process clear and straightforward so you can decide whether my approach feels like the right fit.
RELIEF AWAITS.
Often times, the hardest part is starting. Relief is just a consultation call away, however.
