Neurodivergent affirming coaching is a form of coaching designed to support neurodivergent individuals to achieve their goals, develop their strengths, and navigate their challenges in a way that is tailored to their unique needs. This approach differs from therapy in that it focuses on practical skills and strategies rather than delving into past traumas or emotional difficulties. The coaching relationship is collaborative and goal-oriented, with the coach providing support, accountability, and guidance to help the client achieve their desired outcomes. This type of coaching can be beneficial for autistic individuals who are seeking to improve their executive functioning, communication skills, overall quality of life, and more. Unlike therapy, coaching is not meant to treat mental health conditions, but rather to help individuals identify and build on their strengths and develop the skills they need to thrive.

OUR NEURODIVERGENT COACH

As a non-binary individual who is also autistic, I understand the challenges of navigating the world through the lens of intersectionality. I believe that my experiences with minority stress and the challenges that come with being part of multiple marginalized groups gives me a unique perspective when it comes to offering autism coaching. 
 
At the core of my coaching philosophy is the belief that autism is a social disability, and as such, it is important to learn skills to navigate day-to-day life in a world that is not always accommodating to neurodivergent individuals. My goal is to work with individuals to develop practical strategies that they can use to manage their autism and thrive in a world that often does not understand or appreciate their unique perspective. 
 
As someone who is affirming of everyone, I believe that it is important to recognize the intersectionality of our identities and how they impact our experiences. I strive to create a safe and inclusive space for all individuals, regardless of their gender identity, sexual orientation, race, or ability. I hope to empower individuals to embrace their authentic selves and gain the skills they need to navigate the world with confidence. As I like to say, "we all have unique strengths and challenges, and my goal is to help you harness your strengths and overcome your challenges to live your best life.”
