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 — including those with autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, AuDHD, giftedness, and twice-exceptional (2e) profiles — who are overwhelmed, overstimulated, and burned out, and ready for support that actually fits their brain.

About Jenae

Neurodivergent therapist in Newport Beach — and remote across California.

Autism Spectrum  ·  ADHD  ·  AuDHD  ·  Giftedness  ·  2e

Most therapy wasn't designed for neurodivergent brains. The pacing is wrong, the frameworks don't fit, and the language assumes things about you that simply aren't true.

My practice is built at the intersection of neuroscience, trauma, and real-world executive function — using approaches calibrated to how the ND nervous system actually operates.

My approach

Therapy that doesn't
talk down to you.

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 EMDR-informed, with additional training in W-CAT and 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.
