Neurodivergence affirming therapy for Autistic, ADHD, and Anxious humans.
Somatic therapy to support your sensitive nervous system and neurodivergent brain.
Untreated Autism or ADHD can feel like living life on hard mode.
Constantly masking your neurodivergence has taken a toll.
You swallow your sensory needs, override your social limits, and push your body beyond its boundaries just to get through the day. Your body feels numb. Your teeth feel grind-y. Your body feels exhausted while your pesky inner critic just screams at you to try harder.
Meltdowns, shutdowns, or prolonged burnout starts to feel like the norm.
So you numb yourself through isolating, doomscrolling, comfort eating, or impulsive online shopping to cope. These cycles start to feel self-defeating but you don’t know what else to do.
Let’s give your neurodivergent brain and sensitive nervous system some love.
Learn somatic, mind/body tools to regulate your emotions, break out of fight or flight, and get your body and brain back on the same page. Interested? I help neurospicy adults reclaim their peace, beat the burnout blues, and thrive.
Autism
ADHD
Anxiety
Hi, I’m Olga.
I’m a therapist in North Carolina, recovering perfectionist, and fellow neurospicy human being.
I believe (pretty freaking strongly) that whether you have an ADHD brain, are Autistic, or live with chronic Depression, PTSD, or Anxiety, there is actually nothing wrong with you.
Instead of pathologizing differences, I help clients understand and embrace their sensitive brains and nervous systems that likely never came with an instruction manual.
Through individual therapy, I teach neurodivergent humans to regulate their nervous systems, heal their relationship with themselves, and reclaim a genuine feeling of self-worth in a world that wasn’t built for us.

Breaking down the process.
Step 1: Schedule a Free Consultation
Fill out a quick questionnaire, pick a convenient time to chat, and voila! You’re all set. On the day of our call, we’ll talk about your goals for therapy, I’ll walk you through my approach to treatment, and we can chat about whether working together feels like a fit for both of us.
Step 2: Begin Therapy

Therapeutic Approaches
-
Somatic therapy works with sensations in your body (instead of the ‘story’ of what happened) to relieve symptoms. For those neurospicy folx who have trouble identifying specific emotions (raises hand), somatic therapies can be an incredibly helpful approach to healing trauma, regulating your nervous system, and practicing the skill of noticing sensation without being overwhelmed by it.
-
Internal Family Systems (IFS) focuses on parts of you that have taken on beliefs about yourself or the world that may no longer be serving you. You might have an inner critic part, a rebellious teenage part, a hopeless inner toddler, and more. When we understand our parts and where they come from, we can cultivate self compassion for the survival strategies of our past while learning new skills in the present.
-
Relational Therapy brings the relationship between client and therapist into greater focus, enhancing authenticity and connection, and decreasing the power imbalance between practitioner and patient. With a more collaborative style, we can build a space of increased vulnerability, connection, and empathy that feels like you’re speaking to a real human being that can meet you exactly where you are.
