Safe Hands Counseling
Welcome!
Sometimes specialties find you. In the spring of 2023, I realized that 90% of my practice is neurodivergent adults. The vast majority of my clients do not come to me knowing they are neurodivergent. They come to therapy because they feel like everyone else got the handbook for life and they were left out, they struggle to do the things that other people seem to do without effort and struggle to translate their thoughts into words. What is neurodivergence? It means that the individual’s brain is specialized in a way that gives that person some wonderful abilities but also causes them to struggle with other tasks that the “normal” person hardly thinks about. They feel confused because they frequently know they have special abilities but struggle with life tasks that everyone else seems to take for granted. I have worked with high masking adults with Autism* since 2016 and have long standing relationships with my clients. I have had the privilege of learning in depth from my clients about what it is like to be them and what sorts of strategies do and don’t work for them. Since this is an underserved population, I have decided to limit my practice to adults and their loved ones who either know that they are high masking autistic or suspect they might be. I include loved ones because relationships are frequently an area of difficulty and concern for neurodivergent people. I have decades of experience helping neurodivergent people navigate their life and relationships. I have deep compassion for the struggle that misunderstanding creates for both the neurodivergent person and their special people.

Why a Free Consultation?
New people and places can be very overwhelming for people with Autism. I want to do everything I can to help you feel comfortable and confident as you start the counseling process. The free consultation, done either in person or on the phone, gives a risk free opportunity to find out what counseling with me would be like. See Facts & Details page for more information.
