The Sacred Search: Finding Your Right-Fit Therapist
How do you tell if a therapist can actually hold the sacred in all that’s changing in you, or if 'holistic' is just marketing?
This Free series gives you the questions that reveal true fit—so you can find a therapist who takes your tarot practice as seriously as your transition (and your Trauma).
Create clarity and trust in yourself at the intersection of neurodivergence and perimenopause - without masking who you are or constantly second-guessing your needs.
What if your diagnosis becomes the key that finally makes everything click?
You wake up feeling grounded in who you are. The constant internal questioning has quieted.
You understand why you need what you need, and you honour those needs without guilt or endless explanations. Your relationships feel more authentic because you're no longer exhausting yourself trying to be someone you're not.
This is what becomes possible when you learn to navigate life, particularly mid-life, through your neurodivergent lens with confidence and clarity.
You’ve Always Been the One Who Handles Things…so now what?
The systems. The schedules. The emotional temperature of every room you walked into. The compensating that nobody else could see, because you made it look like you were just organized, just thorough, just good at your job.
And then perimenopause arrived. Or the diagnosis. Or both at once. And the strategies you built over thirty years quietly stopped working. Not because you got weaker, but because the estrogen that was quietly regulating your dopamine started to withdraw, and the scaffolding that depended on it came down with it.
But whilst the knowledge of what’s happening brings relief and understanding, it also brings new questions. How do you rebuild your understanding of yourself? How do you trust your needs when you've spent decades masking them? How do you navigate relationships when your brain works differently? How do you gracefully step into this new chapter?
What I hear from almost every woman I work with at this intersection is some version of the same sentence: “I used to be able to handle this.” Said with confusion, and underneath the confusion, real fear. Because for her, the competence was never just a skill. It was the whole story of who she was.
What’s Actually Happening in Your Brain and Body
Estrogen plays a direct role in regulating dopamine, the neurotransmitter most central to ADHD. As estrogen declines during perimenopause, it takes that regulation with it.
For a woman whose dopamine was already dysregulated, the shift can be dramatic. The strategies that worked for decades suddenly need more than she has.
Most of the women I work with have been told it’s just hormones, or just stress, or that they need an antidepressant.
Few have had a clinician look at the full picture of what perimenopause does to an ADHD brain specifically, and what that means for someone who has spent her whole life compensating so thoroughly she may not have known she was doing it.
That full picture is where I work.
And there's another dimension to this that almost never gets named in a clinical setting. The withdrawal of the hormones that were keeping you outward-facing, productive, and socially calibrated is not only a neurological event.
Many women I work with describe this period, once they stop fighting it, as the first time in their lives they've had genuine access to their own interior.
What looks from the outside like a woman falling apart is often, from the inside, a woman finally hearing herself.
Your Path to Clarity and Self-Trust
Through our work together, you'll move from confusion to clarity in three key areas:
Understand Your Brain and Body
We start with clarity about what’s actually happening at the intersection of ADHD and perimenopause. Not so you can explain it to your doctor, though you’ll be able to. So you can stop wondering what’s wrong with you and start working with what’s true about you.
Unwind Competence Mythology
We look honestly at the story you’ve been living - where it came from, what it protected, and what it’s cost. We honor its survival intelligence. And we begin, slowly, to set it down.
Meet the Self Underneath
The question of who you are when you stop managing everything is not a crisis. It’s the most interesting question you’ve never had time to ask. We work with your creativity, your body, your dreams, and your spiritual life as the actual material of this inquiry.
The Spiritual Dimension of Neurodivergence, Perimenopause, and Midlife
For many neurodivergent women, this period — as destabilizing as it is — is also the most spiritually alive they have ever been.
The ADHD brain has always had a particular relationship with the sacred. The pattern recognition that made school hard, the intensity that made small talk exhausting, the permeability to atmosphere and energy, and the suffering of others are not incidental traits. They are the same capacities that mystics, dreamers, and seers have always carried. Your brain notices what others walk past. It feels the weight of things. It asks why when everyone else has moved on.
Perimenopause changes the conditions around the brain in ways that are worth paying attention to.
This is the territory we work in together:
What your nervous system knows
Your permeability to energy, atmosphere, and the emotional undercurrents of a room is not a dysregulation problem. It's information. We work with what your body and nervous system are picking up as valid data about your experience and your world.
Your creative life as spiritual practice
For the neurodivergent woman, creativity is rarely just a hobby. It's how she processes, how she prays, how she makes meaning from chaos. Whether that's fiber arts, writing, visual work, or the way you think — we work with creative expression as a genuine spiritual path, not a therapeutic tool bolted onto real work.
The questions your soul is actually asking
The need for everything to mean something is not excessive. It's the oldest human impulse there is. At this intersection of ADHD and perimenopause, when the old stories about who you are have stopped holding, those questions get louder. We don't rush past them. We follow them.

Why I'm the right guide for you
I understand what it's like to feel fundamentally different whilst trying to fit into a neurotypical world. My own late-life ADHD diagnosis transformed how I understood myself and my relationships. I know the grief of realizing how much energy you spent trying to be someone you weren't.
I understand the spiritual dimension of neurodivergence. Your sensitivity, your intensity, your need for meaning—these aren't just neurological traits. They're often spiritual gifts. I work with the understanding that healing your relationship with your neurodivergence is also about reclaiming your authentic spiritual nature.
As an art therapist with training in somatic approaches, I work with the wisdom of your whole system—not just your thinking mind. This is especially important for neurodivergent brains that often process information and emotions differently. We work through your body, your creativity, your intuition.
I've spent years helping women navigate major life transitions and identity shifts. I understand the particular challenges of rebuilding your sense of self when everything you thought you knew about yourself has been reframed—especially when you're doing it in midlife.
I understand the upheaval that perimenopause brings to the neurodivergent experience. I’ve been living it, navigating the medical system, seeking out alternative supports, and making peace.
This work is perfect for you if:
You’re navigating perimenopause and ADHD, newly diagnosed or long-diagnosed, and the strategies you relied on are no longer reliable
You’ve spent decades being the capable one, and you’re exhausted in a way that rest doesn’t touch
You’re scared of yourself and the emotions surfacing; the version of you emerging as the performance cracks
You’ve never been asked who you are underneath the roles, and part of you is terrified by that question, and part of you is desperate for it
You want a therapist who takes both the neuroscience and the soul-level dimensions of this seriously
You need depth and authenticity over surface-level strategies and worksheet homework

Why This Investment Matters
Because your healing and transformation deserve sacred space.
Insurance-based therapy often rushes the process and pathologizes your differences. This work honors both your timeline and your unique wiring.
Because understanding your ADHD brain is a spiritual awakening.
You're not just learning to cope, you're learning to thrive. You're not just managing symptoms, you're reclaiming your authentic self. You’re not just getting older, you’re entering your most creative stage of life!
Because when you trust your changing body, everything changes.
Your relationships deepen. Your creativity flows. Your sensitivity becomes a superpower. Your life becomes an expression of who you actually are, not who you think you should be.
What You Can Expect
After our first few sessions,
you'll begin to see patterns more clearly and feel less confused about your reactions and needs. The constant internal questioning—"Is this normal? Am I overreacting? Am I just being difficult?"—starts to quiet.
6 or so months in,
you'll notice yourself making decisions with more confidence and less internal debate. You'll start trusting your need for quiet, your sensitivity to environments, your way of processing information. You'll feel less like you're making excuses and more like you're honoring your authentic self.
As the work continues,
you'll develop a solid understanding of how your neurodivergent brain and body work, and practical tools for honouring your needs whilst maintaining meaningful relationships. Most importantly, the constant questioning and self-doubt will have transformed into genuine self-trust.
You'll know:
Your sensitivity is a gift, not a burden.
Your need for meaning isn't excessive; it's sacred.
The Transformation Waiting for You
Women I work with often describe a specific moment of relief, early in our work, when something clicks about why their brain works the way it does. The internal interrogation gets quieter. The constant “what is wrong with me” starts to shift toward “oh. This makes sense.”
From there, the work deepens. The emotions that were scaring her turn out to have something to say. The question of who she is without all the managing turns out to have an answer she finds she’s been moving toward for years. The woman underneath the performance turns out to be someone she actually wants to know.
That’s what I’m here to help you find.
This isn't just possible—it's what you're meant for.
Ready to make sense of your neurodivergent life?

Schedule Your Free 20-Minute Consultation
During our consultation, we'll explore your specific situation and see if this approach feels right for you. There's no pressure—just an opportunity to share what you're experiencing and learn more about how this work could support you.
P.S. None of it was a lie
The competence was real. The strategies worked. The survival was genuine.
It just was never the whole truth of you. This is the part where you get to find out what else is there.
You don’t need to have this figured out before you reach out. Arriving without it figured out is exactly the right way to arrive.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
I am an out-of-network provider. That means I don’t work directly with any insurance companies, however you likely have out-of-network benefits and can find out more about what your insurance provides by calling them to inquire. Usually, OON benefits cover a portion of your session costs and reimburse you upon receiving a Superbill which you submit to your insurance company. All sessions are paid by you upfront and you are reimbursed down the road directly through your insurance.

After the initial 12 sessions, we re-evaluate the frequency and consistency.
-
You have taken a brave and positive step towards growth and change by deciding to seek therapy. The outcome of your treatment depends largely on your willingness to engage in this process, which may, at times, result in considerable discomfort. Remembering unpleasant events and becoming aware of the feelings attached to those events can bring on strong feelings of anger, depression, anxiety, shame, guilt, etc. There are no miracle cures. I cannot promise that your behavior or circumstance will change. I can promise to support you and do my very best to understand you and your repeating patterns and blind spots, as well as help you clarify what it is that you want for yourself and your life. While working together consistently, therapy can lead to better relationships, solutions to specific problems, greater self-awareness and self-acceptance, and a significant reduction in feelings of distress.
You will be an active participant in the process of establishing, evaluating, and accomplishing your therapeutic goals. You will be encouraged to communicate your ideas, thoughts, feelings, needs, likes, and dislikes, and by naming and negotiating these aspects of yourself openly and clearly, and by bringing your full attention and awareness to this process, you will be empowered to respect and care for yourself.
