Coaching for Neurodivergent Couples & Individuals

Practical, present-focused coaching for ADHD, autistic, and AuDHD adults and the people who love them. Relationships, your own wiring, or dating, by video, wherever you live.

"I've lived enough of this to know that the gap between two people isn't always about love. Sometimes it's just about wiring. And that can be worked with."

When two brains work differently, love isn't always enough.

ADHD, autism, and other neurodivergence aren't deficits, they're a different way of moving through the world. Coaching gives you practical tools to work with that difference, not against it.

Guidance for What Comes Next

Coaching is practical support for what you're facing right now, as a couple or as an individual navigating your own neurodivergence. How to communicate differently. How to understand each other's wiring. How to move forward together.

Therapy is where you process the past. Coaching is where you build what comes next, with concrete strategies and action steps. And because it isn't a clinical service, it's available anywhere in the world by video.

This isn't advice from the outside. It's real tools, built around your relationship specifically.

Somatic awareness and inner voice work are part of every session. See how I work.

Coaching Is For You If…

01

Neurodivergent Couples

ADHD + neurotypical, autism + partner, or both neurodivergent. You love each other but struggle to understand each other's brains, and want to communicate without blame.

Partners With Cassandra Syndrome

Caregiver burnout, disconnection, feeling unsupported. Coaching helps you name it, set boundaries that hold, and decide what you want next.

03

Individuals Navigating Neurodiversity

You want support understanding your brain, managing executive function, or your identity in relationships. Late diagnosis welcome.

04

Couples Who Feel Stuck

Same fight, growing distance. Coaching gives you practical tools to reconnect and try a different approach. If there's abuse or a safety concern, therapy or other support is the better fit, and I'll help you find it.

I've Lived a Lot of This Myself

I'm a coach, a former acupuncturist of 17 years, a mom of two, and someone who got her own ADHD diagnosis as an adult, which reframed a lot of things. I've been in relationships where the love was real and the connection was hard. I know what that costs.

I'm not here to fix you or your relationship. I'm here to help you understand what's actually happening, and to walk alongside you while you figure out what comes next.
