Coaching for Late-Diagnosed Autistic & ADHD Adults Ready to Live Authentically

Step into who you really are


Are you a late-identified neurodivergent adult? 


Feel like you’re just now meeting the real you after a lifetime of masking, over-adapting, and wondering why things always felt harder than they should?


You’re not alone. And more importantly, you’re not broken.


Many late-identified neurodivergent adults come to understand themselves better after years of burnout, people-pleasing, and trying to "keep up" in a world built for neurotypicals. That realization can be empowering but also disorienting.


I help you find your way forward. With a compassionate, evidence-based approach rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Coaching (ACC) and my signature SAFE Unmasking™ processes, I offer the tools, support, and structure you need to:


  • Reconnect with who you really are without the mask 
  • Honor your lived experience without shame
  • Take thoughtful steps forward with courage and care
  • Align your life with your neurodivergent values, needs, and strengths
     

This is your unmasking experience; your shift into a more authentic, neurodivergent-aligned life.


If you're a late-identified neurodivergent adult looking for real-world tools, a judgment-free space to explore who you are, and support from someone who can relate you're in the right place.

Neurodivergence is more than a diagnosis. It’s shaped by identity, culture, and experience.

How Intersectionality impacts Unmasking

It’s Time to Unmask with Compassion and Clarity

If you’re exploring your neurodivergence, navigating unmasking, or learning how to live more authentically you're not alone. The SAFE Unmasking™ processes, combined with Acceptance and Commitment Coaching (ACC), creates a supportive space where you can reconnect with your values, build emotional resilience, and move at a pace that works for you.


1-on-1 coaching is now available. Whether you're newly diagnosed or years into your journey, my services are designed with your lived experience in mind.

Unmasking after a late diagnosis of autism or ADHD can feel overwhelming. You don’t have to figure it all out alone.


On my Substack, 'yes, ampersand,' I share my experiences, practical tools, and evidence-based insights for neurodivergent adults who are navigating life after diagnosis. Whether you're just starting to question if you're neurodivergent, or you've already been diagnosed and are wondering what comes next, you’ll find relatable, trauma-informed guidance written by someone who gets it.


Topics include:

  • What unmasking really looks like (and how to do it safely)
  • Acceptance & Commitment Coaching strategies that actually help
  • Self-compassion, burnout recovery, and values-driven living
  • Identity exploration without shame or overwhelm
  • Tools I use in my coaching and in my own neurodivergent life
