Who this is for

From the outside,
things look fine.
Inside, you're running
on empty.

You're shutting down more than you used to. Snapping at the people you love. Getting through the day, but it costs more than it should.

There's a suspicion — maybe quiet, maybe not — that you process things differently than other people. You might have heard of ADHD or autism and felt something click. Or you're not sure yet. You just know something is different.

I work with neurodivergent adults, children and teens, couples, and families — including ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, AuDHD, giftedness, and twice-exceptional (2e) profiles — with support designed around the actual brains and nervous systems in the room.

Get started

ADHD

Executive function, attention, emotional dysregulation, rejection sensitivity

ASD

Masking, burnout, social exhaustion, late diagnosis

AuDHD

The intersection — complex, underserved, deeply understood here

Giftedness

Gifted and twice exceptional — high ability, high sensitivity, and often struggling in ways nobody sees

ND Couples & Families

Neurodivergent couples and families — communication, connection, and understanding the wiring in the room

Kids & Teens

Play therapy and neurodiversity-affirming support for children and teens — in person in Newport Beach

Specialties

Therapy for neurodivergent lives.

Specialized support for neurodivergent adults, parents, couples, and families — including the experiences that often get missed when therapy focuses only on a diagnosis.

About Jenae

Newport Beach therapist specializing in neurodivergent clients across the lifespan — and remote across California.

Autism Spectrum · ADHD · AuDHD · Giftedness · 2e · Kids · Couples & Families

I work with people whose minds are active, perceptive, creative, intense, and sometimes hard to quiet. Therapy here is a place to understand your wiring more deeply and use it well — without having to make yourself smaller, simpler, or easier to explain.

My work brings together neurodiversity-affirming care, nervous-system regulation, trauma-informed therapy, and practical support for everyday life. We build on what is already strong while making the parts that feel overwhelming, stuck, or exhausting more manageable.

My approach

Effective therapy,
built around how you think.

My clients are neurodivergent adults, young adults, and teens — on the autism spectrum, with ADHD, AuDHD, giftedness, or twice-exceptional profiles — navigating late diagnosis, burnout, and the exhaustion of masking. Including parents, professionals, and people who are just now starting to understand why things have always felt harder than they should.

I'm an ADHD-CCSP (Certified Clinical Services Provider), PEERS trained, and W-CAT trained, with additional training in parts-based frameworks. My approach is practical, collaborative, and built around how your brain actually works — not how therapy assumes it should.

I offer in-person sessions in Newport Beach and telehealth throughout California, including the Bay Area, Los Angeles, and San Diego.

Motherhood is sensory-heavy and demand-heavy. For ND moms navigating postpartum overwhelm, PDA, sensory overload, and a nervous system that was already stretched thin.
