Individual Therapy · San Diego & Online Across California
Maybe you have a diagnosis. Maybe you have a strong hunch and a lifetime of evidence. Maybe you're not neurodivergent yourself, but you love or parent someone who is, and you're the one quietly holding it together. Wherever you're starting from, this is individual work built around how your brain - and your life - actually operates.
ADHD Autism / AuDHD Late Diagnosis Still Figuring It Out Neurotypical Partners & Parents
"You don't need a diagnosis to deserve support, and you don't need to earn understanding by explaining yourself perfectly first. We can start with whatever you actually have."- Maring Higa, AMFT
Who This Is For
You might have an official ADHD, autism, or AuDHD diagnosis, or you might just be pretty sure at this point. Either way, you're carrying questions about how your brain actually works, what masking has cost you, and what it means to build a life that fits you instead of one you're constantly adapting yourself to survive.
You're not the one with the diagnosis - your partner, your kid, or someone close to you is. You're exhausted, maybe a little resentful, maybe grieving something you can't quite name. This is space for your experience specifically, separate from the relationship work, where you don't have to filter what you say through how it affects anyone else.
How I Help
A late diagnosis - or even just a strong self-suspicion - can rewrite how you see your whole history. We make room for the grief, the relief, and the reframing, at whatever pace that actually takes.
Years of performing "normal" take a real toll. We work on identifying where you've been masking, what it's costing you, and what it might look like to unmask somewhere safe.
Not generic productivity tips - real systems built around how your specific brain manages time, follow-through, and overwhelm, without shame attached to what hasn't worked before.
Seventeen years as an acupuncturist taught me the body holds what the mind hasn't caught up to yet. We bring nervous system work into session, not just talk.
