Therapy for Nerdy, Neurodivergent & Queer Humans Struggling to Fit into the Default World
You don't need to mask, shrink or translate yourself here. Let's build connection, emotional regulation, self-awareness, self-trust, relationships, and lifestyles that suit your brain, body, nervous sytem and capacity.
You may be experiencing:
-
chronic exhaustion from masking
-
social and emotional burnout or struggles
-
rejection sensitivity
-
identity questions (queer, trans, kink, ENM & more)
-
stigma/internalized oppression
-
feeling like too much or not enough
If this sounds like you, you might be:
-
The friend who overthinks social interactions
-
Brilliant at hyperfocus "when the mood strikes," but struggle to feel consistent
-
Navigating kink, enm or queerness and wanting safe support that isnt directly involved
-
Wondering why therapy hasn't worked in the past, or you've never clicked with your past therapists
-
ready to shift from NPC to Playing Character or background support to main character
We may be a good fit if....
-
you want to unpack the roles systems of oppression have on your wellbeing
-
you'd rather use literature, games, movies or special interests as ways to mirror life and identify areas of change within our control
-
you want a space that will hold your intersecting identities with care, consideration, and joy
-
you are curious about connecting or reconnecting with your culture/identity
-
you are wanting to explore slow living and nervous system friendly ways of being, while existing under the current systems
Listening. Understanding. Exploring. Empowering.
Hello, it’s so nice to meet you. I’m really glad you’re here.
It takes so much strength to recognize when we can’t keep pushing through on our own and to reach out for support. That’s not an easy step. Sometimes just getting through the day can feel exhausting, and you don’t have to carry that alone anymore.
The Nerdy Therapist aims to be a place to put your coat down, relax and be your authentic self. My role is to create a space for you to feel safe, secure, and curious about what you’re currently experiencing. Therapy that is collaborative and encourages you to have a say in what it looks like whether that looks like structure, free flow or a combination of both. We might explore emotional layers, attitudes, self-limiting beliefs, solutions, or develop new ways of being. This may be through conversation, activities, drawing, writing, or even games. Sessions have ebbs and flows, some meetings are deep dives, while others are more of a walk in the park. My hope is that you will leave our time together feeling more confident, self—aware and determined in who you are, how you want to be, and the tools you have in your kit to navigate new challenges as they arise.
