Empowering Neurodivergent Adults with Insight and Strength
We specialize in supporting adults who have been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD/ADHD)—as well as those who may be exploring the possibility. In our work together, we focus on understanding how neurodivergence has influenced your unique life path, while recognizing and honoring the adaptive strengths you've already developed. Our goal is to build on those strengths, creating new strategies and tools that support your mental well-being, increase daily satisfaction, and align with your authentic self. Through individually tailored goals, we work collaboratively to help you thrive—not just survive.
Change is a natural part of life—sometimes chosen, sometimes unexpected. From birth and loss, graduation and marriage, to divorce, disability, or reimagining your career path, life transitions can bring both possibility and uncertainty. Whether you're starting something new or letting go of what no longer fits, these moments can feel disorienting and emotionally intense.
At Pure Empathy Therapy, we offer online counseling to support you through these shifts. Together, we explore your values, clarify your direction, and build strategies that help you feel grounded and empowered. Our work centers on helping you meet change with resilience, self-trust, and a deeper sense of purpose—on your timeline, in your way.
Relationships—whether romantic, platonic, monogamous, or polyamorous—can bring deep fulfillment, but they also come with challenges. Navigating conflict, communication barriers, or life transitions can feel overwhelming, no matter the structure of your relationship. At Pure Empathy Therapy, we welcome individuals, couples, throuples, and all relationship constellations across the spectrum of identities and sexualities.
With training in the Gottman Method and a foundation rooted in empathy and respect, we offer online counseling designed to help you reconnect, communicate more effectively, and grow together. In our work, we focus on helping you express emotions clearly, state needs confidently, and listen deeply—to yourself and to each other. Together, we strengthen the frameworks that support safe, resilient, and authentic connection—on your terms.
