Neurodiversity &

Disabilities

Neurodivergent individuals and those living with disabilities don’t need to be “fixed.” They need support that understands how their brain and body work.

Amy helps clients build skills, confidence, and self-understanding in ways that honor who they are.

This isn’t about masking.
It’s about meaningful growth.
