If you’re autistic and burned out, you may feel like your system has quietly hit a wall — even if from the outside it looks like you’re “still functioning.”

Autistic burnout isn’t just being tired.
It’s a whole-body, whole-brain depletion that comes from years of masking, adapting, over-giving, and pushing yourself through environments that weren’t built with your nervous system in mind.

As an autistic-affirming therapist licensed in Washington and Nevada, I work with adults who are navigating burnout at all stages — from early cracks to deep depletion to the slow process of rebuilding.

You might be noticing:

• An exhaustion that sleep doesn’t touch

• Brain fog, shutdowns, or losing access to skills you used to have

• Heightened sensory sensitivity or emotional overwhelm

• Difficulty initiating tasks or making decisions

• A creeping fear that you’re “failing at life” or “falling behind”

• A deep, quiet grief for the version of yourself who used to be able to keep up

Clients often tell me:

“I don’t know how to rest without everything falling apart.”
“I used to be capable and high-functioning. Now I’m just… functioning.”
“I’m still doing the things, but it feels harder - I can’t explain why.”
“I’m scared this is just who I am now.”

If this resonates, I want you to hear this clearly:
You are not broken. Your nervous system is responding exactly as it was designed to — by slowing things down when the strain becomes too much.

Therapy for Autistic Burnout That Works With Your Nervous System

Much of the advice around burnout focuses on productivity, resilience, or “getting back to normal.” For autistic and neurodivergent adults, that approach often misses the mark — and can deepen burnout.

In our work together, we focus on:

• Understanding autistic burnout as a protective nervous system response, not a personal failure

• Identifying how masking, over-accommodation, and chronic self-abandonment have depleted your capacity

• Using somatic therapy tools to support regulation, pacing, and safety

• Working with different parts of you that are exhausted, critical, scared, or still trying to push through

• Exploring values, boundaries, and sustainable living through an ACT-informed lens

• Supporting identity integration and self-trust as you rebuild after burnout

This is not about forcing recovery or returning to who you were before.
It’s about creating a life that your nervous system can actually stay present for.

Neurodivergent-Affirming, Trauma-Informed Therapy

I provide autistic-affirming and neurodiversity-affirming therapy for adults in Washington and Nevada via secure telehealth.

That means:

• Your neurodivergence is not something to cure

• You don’t need to explain or justify your needs

• We move at a pace that respects burnout and limited capacity

While my work is trauma-informed, I do not offer trauma reprocessing therapies such as EMDR. Instead, our focus is on stabilization, nervous system support, and building enough internal and external safety to make meaningful, sustainable changes — especially important during autistic burnout.

Private Pay Therapy for Autistic Burnout (WA & NV)

Many autistic and neurodivergent adults choose private pay therapy because it allows us to:

• Work without insurance-driven diagnoses or treatment limits

• Move at a pace that supports burnout recovery

• Focus on nervous system needs, boundaries, and identity exploration

• Maintain greater privacy and autonomy in care

Private pay therapy often provides the flexibility and depth needed for autistic burnout recovery — particularly when your goal is long-term sustainability, not short-term performance.

Telehealth Therapy in Washington & Nevada

I offer telehealth therapy for autistic and neurodivergent adults who reside in:

• Washington (WA)

• Nevada (NV)

If you’re experiencing autistic burnout and looking for therapy that understands your nervous system — not one that tries to override it — you’re welcome here.

If you have ADHD and you’re burned out, you may feel like your mind won’t slow down — and your body has already given up trying to keep pace.

ADHD burnout isn’t laziness or a lack of motivation.
It’s what happens after years of sprinting through life without enough recovery, structure that actually fits, or support that understands how your brain works.

Many adults with ADHD reach burnout after doing all the right things: working harder, trying new systems, masking struggles, and pushing through exhaustion because stopping never felt like an option.

You might be noticing:

• Mental exhaustion that no amount of rest seems to fix

• Difficulty starting or finishing tasks you used to manage

• Increased emotional sensitivity, irritability, or shutdown

• A sense of paralysis when faced with even small decisions

• Shame or self-criticism about “wasting potential”

• Feeling overwhelmed by life while simultaneously under-stimulated

Clients often say:

“I know what I should do — I just can’t make myself do it.”
“My brain never turns off, and I’m completely drained.”
“I feel like I’m failing at things everyone else finds easy.”
“I’m called lazy and feel behind, even when I’m trying my hardest.”

If this sounds familiar, I want to say this clearly:
You’re not broken, unmotivated, or failing. Your nervous system is exhausted from running without enough support or safety.

Therapy for ADHD Burnout That Respects Your Brain

Most burnout advice assumes you need better discipline, more routines, or stricter accountability. For adults with ADHD, that approach often increases shame and deepens burnout.

In our work together, we focus on:

• Understanding ADHD burnout as a nervous system and capacity issue, not a character flaw

• Identifying where over-functioning, masking, and internal pressure have depleted your energy

• Using somatic therapy tools to support regulation, pacing, and recovery

• Working with parts of you that are overwhelmed, avoidant, critical, or still trying to push through

• Exploring values-based choices and sustainable motivation through an ACT-informed lens

• Rebuilding systems that support your brain instead of fighting it

This work is not about forcing productivity.
It’s about creating enough safety and structure for your energy to return naturally.

Neurodivergent-Affirming, Trauma-Informed Therapy

I provide ADHD-affirming and neurodiversity-affirming therapy for adults via secure telehealth in Washington and Nevada.

That means:

• ADHD is treated as a neurotype, not a failure of willpower

• We work collaboratively, with flexibility and curiosity

• Sessions are paced to respect burnout and executive functioning limits

While my work is trauma-informed, I do not offer trauma reprocessing therapies such as EMDR. Instead, our focus is on stabilization, nervous system regulation, and building practical, compassionate support — especially important during ADHD burnout.

Private Pay Therapy for ADHD Burnout

Many adults with ADHD choose private pay therapy because it allows us to:

• Work without insurance-driven expectations or productivity goals

• Move at a pace that supports burnout recovery

• Focus on nervous system support, executive functioning, and self-trust

• Maintain greater privacy and autonomy in care

Private pay therapy offers the flexibility and depth often needed to address ADHD burnout in a sustainable way.

Telehealth ADHD Therapy in Washington & Nevada

I offer telehealth therapy for adults with ADHD who live in:

• Washington (WA)

• Nevada (NV)

If you’re experiencing ADHD burnout and looking for therapy that understands your brain — not one that tries to discipline it into compliance — you are SO welcome here!

If you’re neurodivergent and exhausted by how hard you work just to appear “fine,” you’re not imagining it — masking takes an enormous amount of energy.

Masking and perfectionism often develop as survival strategies. They help you stay safe, be taken seriously, and avoid judgment in a world that rewards conformity and productivity. Over time, though, they can quietly drain your nervous system and leave you feeling disconnected from yourself.

You might notice:

• A constant pressure to perform or get things “right”

• Over-preparing, over-explaining, or replaying interactions afterward

• Difficulty resting without guilt or anxiety

• Fear of being seen as incompetent, difficult, or “too much”

• Feeling unsure who you are underneath all the coping strategies

• A sense that you’re always bracing — even when nothing is wrong

Clients often tell me:

“I don’t know how to stop trying.”
“If I let my guard down, everything will fall apart.”
“People think I’m capable, but I feel like I’m barely holding it together.”

If this resonates, please understand the following:
Masking and perfectionism aren’t personal flaws. They’re intelligent responses to chronic pressure — and they come at a cost.

Therapy That Gently Loosens the Grip of “Having to Be Fine”

Most advice around perfectionism focuses on lowering standards or thinking more positively. For neurodivergent adults, this often misses what’s actually happening in the nervous system.

In our work together, we focus on:

• Understanding masking and perfectionism as protective nervous system strategies, not defects

• Identifying which parts of you are working overtime to keep things together

• Using somatic tools to support safety, regulation, and unbracing

• Working with perfectionistic, critical, or hyper-vigilant parts through parts-informed therapy

• Exploring values, self-trust, and choice through an ACT-informed lens

• Practicing boundaries and authenticity in ways that feel safe and sustainable

This work isn’t about forcing vulnerability or “dropping the mask” all at once.
It’s about creating enough safety to let your system soften — a little at a time.

Neurodivergent-Affirming, Trauma-Informed Therapy

I offer neurodiversity-affirming therapy for autistic and ADHD adults via secure telehealth in Washington and Nevada.

That means:

• Masking is understood as an adaptation, not dishonesty

• Perfectionism is met with curiosity rather than judgment

• Therapy moves at a pace that respects capacity and burnout

While my work is trauma-informed, I do not provide trauma reprocessing therapies such as EMDR. Instead, our focus is on stabilization, nervous system support, and building internal safety — especially important when masking and perfectionism are deeply ingrained.

Private Pay Therapy for Masking & Perfectionism (WA & NV)

Many neurodivergent adults choose private pay therapy because it allows us to:

• Explore identity, boundaries, and authenticity without insurance limitations

• Work at a pace that supports nervous system regulation

• Focus on long-term sustainability rather than symptom management

• Maintain greater privacy and autonomy in care

Private pay therapy often provides the flexibility and depth needed to gently unwind patterns of masking and perfectionism.

Telehealth Therapy in Washington & Nevada

I provide telehealth therapy for neurodivergent adults in:

• Washington (WA)

• Nevada (NV)

If you’re tired of holding yourself together and quietly wondering who you might be without all the pressure — you are welcome here!

If you’re queer or LGBTQ+ and questioning parts of who you are, you might be carrying a surprising amount of shame — even if you’re “out,” politically informed, and very tired of explaining yourself.

Queer shame doesn’t always look like self-hatred.
Sometimes it shows up as overthinking your identity, second-guessing your desires, minimizing your needs, or quietly wondering if you’re doing queerness “wrong.”

You might find yourself:

• Questioning whether you’re “queer enough,” “too queer,” or somehow both

• Feeling behind others in your community — or out of sync with it

• Carrying guilt for wanting ease, rest, or safety

• Over-explaining your identity to make others comfortable

• Feeling like your queerness takes up too much space… or not enough

• Wondering who you’d be if you stopped apologizing for existing

Clients often say things like:

“I know there’s nothing wrong with being queer — I just don’t feel that yet.”
“I don’t want to debate my identity — I want to live it.”
“I feel like I’m still apologizing for existing.”

If any of this lands, you’re not alone — and you’re not doing identity wrong.
You’re navigating it in a world that still sends mixed messages, even when it claims to be inclusive.

Therapy That Makes Space for Curiosity (Not Correction)

A lot of people come into therapy thinking they need to figure themselves out before they’re allowed to rest. Identity exploration doesn’t actually work that way.

In our work together, we focus on:

• Creating space to explore queer and LGBTQ+ identity without pressure to label, defend, or perform

• Gently noticing where shame, internalized norms, and survival strategies still linger

• Using somatic work to help your body feel safer being seen

• Working with different parts of you — the questioning ones, the protective ones, the “please don’t make this awkward” ones

• Exploring values, meaning, and self-trust through an ACT-informed lens

• Supporting identity integration in ways that feel grounding rather than overwhelming

This isn’t about arriving at the “right” identity.
It’s about letting your system relax enough to tell the truth.

LGBTQ+-Affirming, Neurodivergent-Affirming, Trauma-Informed Care

I offer queer-affirming and LGBTQ+-affirming therapy for neurodivergent adults via secure telehealth in Washington and Nevada.

That means:

• Your identity is not something to diagnose or tidy up

• You don’t need to justify or educate to be respected

• Therapy can be thoughtful and a little weird in the best way

While my work is trauma-informed, I do not provide trauma reprocessing therapies such as EMDR. Instead, we focus on safety, regulation, and enough internal permission to explore identity without overwhelm.

Private Pay Therapy for Identity Exploration & Queer Shame (WA & NV)

Many queer and LGBTQ+ clients choose private pay therapy because it allows us to:

• Explore identity without insurance frameworks or diagnostic pressure

• Move at a pace that honors nervous system capacity

• Focus on self-trust, boundaries, and authenticity

• Maintain greater privacy and autonomy in care

Private pay therapy creates room for nuance — something identity work often requires.

Telehealth Therapy in Washington & Nevada

I provide telehealth therapy for queer and LGBTQ+ adults living in:

• Washington (WA)

• Nevada (NV)

If you’re craving a space where you don’t have to perform your identity, defend it, or solve it — you’re in the right place.

A Better Way to Start

You don’t need a polished explanation of who you are to begin.
You just need curiosity, honesty, and a willingness to show up as you are today.

Book a free consultation and let’s make space for the parts of you that haven’t been allowed to take up room yet.

If you feel overwhelmed most of the time — even when nothing particularly bad is happening — you’re not imagining it, and you’re not failing at coping.

Trauma doesn’t always look like one big event.
Often, it’s the accumulation of years of being on edge, adapting, explaining yourself, pushing past your limits, and learning (quietly, efficiently) how to stay functional when things don’t feel safe.

Chronic overwhelm can show up as:

• Feeling constantly braced, alert, or on edge

• Difficulty relaxing, even when you technically have time

• Emotional shutdown or sudden surges of feeling

• A nervous system that reacts before your brain catches up

• Trouble knowing what you need until you’re already depleted

• A sense that life is happening to you, very loudly

Clients often say things like:

“Nothing is wrong, but I never feel okay.”
“I’m always waiting for the next thing to go wrong.”
“Small things feel big, and I don’t know why..”
“I’m always tired, but I don’t know what I’m tired from.”

If this resonates, here’s something important:
Your system learned these patterns for a reason. They kept you going. And they’re allowed to change.

Trauma-Informed Therapy That Doesn’t Push or Dig

A lot of trauma therapy focuses on processing memories or going back into painful experiences. For many people — especially when burnout or neurodivergence is part of the picture — that can feel overwhelming or unsafe.

In our work together, we focus on:

• Supporting your nervous system in the present moment

• Using somatic tools to notice, regulate, and unbrace

• Working with protective parts that learned to stay alert, numb, or in control

• Increasing choice and flexibility through an ACT-informed lens

• Building enough internal safety that overwhelm doesn’t run the show

• Creating space to respond instead of react

This work is not about reliving the past.
It’s about helping your system realize that now is different.

Neurodivergent-Affirming, Trauma-Informed Care

I offer trauma-informed therapy for autistic and neurodivergent adults via secure telehealth in Washington and Nevada.

That means:

• We go at a pace that respects capacity and burnout

• You don’t have to tell your story in detail to heal

• Symptoms are met with curiosity, not pressure to “move on”

While I am trauma-informed, I do not provide trauma reprocessing therapies such as EMDR. Instead, our work focuses on stabilization, nervous system support, and building sustainable ways of feeling safer in your body and your life.

Private Pay Therapy for Trauma & Overwhelm (WA & NV)

Many clients choose private pay therapy because it allows us to:

• Focus on nervous system support rather than insurance timelines

• Move slowly, gently, and intentionally

• Work without diagnostic or documentation pressure

• Maintain greater privacy and autonomy in care

Private pay therapy offers the flexibility and depth that chronic overwhelm and trauma-related patterns often require.

Telehealth Therapy in Washington & Nevada

I provide telehealth therapy for trauma and chronic overwhelm to adults living in:

• Washington (WA)

• Nevada (NV)

If your nervous system has been running the show for a long time — and you’re ready for something softer, steadier, and more humane — this may be a good place to begin.

A Different Way In

You don’t need to retell everything you’ve survived.
You don’t need to be “ready” or regulated or optimistic.

You just need a place where your system can start to exhale.

Schedule a free consultation and let’s see what it would be like to stop bracing for impact — together.
