Neurodivergent Therapy Near East Grand Rapids
Being neurodivergent adds its own texture to everyday life — and East Grand Rapids has no shortage of moments that can tip the balance. Maybe sensory overload hits during a busy evening at Gaslight Village when the noise, lights, and crowd converge all at once. Maybe executive function challenges make a packed Saturday at Reeds Lake feel more draining than enjoyable, even when part of you wanted to be there. We use those real, specific experiences as our starting points, so the work we do together shows up in the places and moments that actually matter to you.
Many neurodivergent adults have spent years being told to push harder, adapt more, or simply try differently — without anyone stopping to ask what was actually getting in the way. Here, we don't start from deficit. We start from a genuine curiosity about how your mind and nervous system work, what environments and structures help you thrive, and what has quietly cost you more energy than it should have.

My Approach
My style is calm, direct, and neurodivergence-affirming. Sessions are predictable in structure, flexible in pace, and built around your processing style — not a generic template. We focus on strategies you can actually use: before a overstimulating school event, during a commute on Lake Drive, or in the wind-down hours at home when your system is still buzzing from the day. The aim is deeper self-understanding, practical supports that fit your real life, and more capacity to navigate your world — not someone else's version of it.
I combine body-based regulation skills with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to work with masking, executive functioning challenges, and emotional dysregulation. When it fits your goals, I use Brainspotting to access the deep brain where automatic responses live and help you unmask at a neurological level. I also utilize HeartMath to help you realign with your body and trust your intuition rather than societal conditioning. We set realistic goals, check what actually works for your brain, and keep adjustments sized for a normal East Grand Rapids week.

FAQ
Do I need to live in East Grand Rapids to meet with you?
No. Many clients split time between East Grand Rapids and Grand Rapids, Comstock Park, or Belmont.
What will we focus on first for neurodivergence?
We start with understanding your patterns and how masking shows up in your daily life. Then we build concrete tools for emotional regulation, executive functioning, and communication that you can use before work, after social events, and during downtime.
Do I need a formal diagnosis?
Not at all. Many people self-identify as neurodivergent, and you'll find only affirmation here. Whether you have ADHD, Autism, sensory processing differences, or learning disabilities, what matters is that you recognize yourself in these experiences.
Is online an option?
Absolutely! I offer a secure telehealth option if that works better for you.
