stuck in A nuerodiverse Relationships

You care deeply about your partner and your relationship, but attempts to communicate often end in misunderstanding, conflict, or shutdown. You may know there’s another way, but feel unsure how to create it.

With the right support, these differences don’t have to feel like a barrier—they can become strengths.

 I listen and support what the relationship Needs

I become the steward of your relationship and listen for what the strengths the relationship holds as well as the areas that the relationship may need more support. I like to create space for the two of you to connect and communicate with each other in a deep and meaniful way. I help guide and offer tools to practice at home when you leave session.

 
 
 

How I support neurodiverse couples:

I help couples understand how their unique wiring, sensory needs, and emotional rhythms affect connection. Together, we:

  • Slow down so both partners feel safe and heard

  • Shift from blame to shared curiosity

  • Build a relational language that honors both neurotypes

  • Repair misattunements with compassion and intention

  • Respect sensory needs and emotional pacing

I blend evidence-based and embodied approaches, drawing from:

  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

  • Imago Therapy

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS)

  • Gottman tools for practical communication and conflict support

  • Somatic and bioenergetic practices


Why the body matters in neurodiverse relationships:

Many neurodiverse individuals experience disconnection from their bodies, chronic stress, or sensory overwhelm. I help clients tune in—safely and gently—using breath, movement, and somatic awareness as tools to support regulation and connection.
