You’re a seeker who asks the big questions about life. A high achiever who’s always been called quirky. You just seem to know things that no one else does when you’re regulated enough to follow your intuition. You recently got your autism diagnosis (or self-identified) and it finally all makes sense why you’ve always been different.
The concept of high-masking describes your life to a T. You’ve built a high-achieving, convincing mask no one sees through… but you’re realizing that you’ve trapped yourself in golden handcuffs of your own making. You feel like you might implode from the pressure to keep everything going and everyone believing that you are okay. You’d never tell anyone but you worry that they’ll figure out you’re not as perfect as you try to perform.
I can help you tap into inner peace, soothe the constant overwhelm, and believe that you can finally become your most authentic self.
Hey there, I’m Stephanie:
I’m an Autistic, licensed psychotherapist providing transformative, depth-oriented therapy for individual adults.
I collaborate with formerly “highly sensitive,” late-identified neurodivergent folx to reduce overwhelm, identify when Autistic meltdowns and shutdowns are happening or when it’s a trauma response, heal developmental trauma and experience transformational change.
