Are You a High Functioning Female Feeling Anxious, Tired, & Maybe Even Broken?
If you're here, I'm guessing it's because you're currently pondering, self-assessing, & debating the pros & cons of getting formal autism assessment.
this new identity can bring “relief & grief” as well as “what if's”or “what will be” questions that come along with it.
Trust me, I get it. Because I was recently assessed myself.
Embracing ADHD, Autism, and All of You
What you may be experiencing
Your capacity and desire shift minute to minute, day to day. You grind it out when you're "on" but crash hard, running on fumes. Burnout, skill regression, and sensory overwhelm leave you asking, "What happened to me?"
Your Energy Swings Wildly:
Hormonal shifts like perimenopause or menopause, lingering Long COVID fatigue, or worsening autoimmune and chronic health challenges make you feel like your body is betraying you.
Unwelcome Health Changes
You’ve been diagnosed with things like anxiety, trauma, or even “high sensitivity,” but lately, it feels like there’s more to the story—like something deeper is happening. What you thought were stress or panic attacks hasn’t gotten better—it’s worsened. Maybe you’ve even wondered, "Am I broken?"
Symptoms That Don't Add Up
Perhaps autism or ADHD has entered your radar, especially after a family member or child was diagnosed. Now you’re reflecting on yourself, your family, and even your friends.
Exploring New Diagnoses:
The usual ways of coping or practicing self-care fall flat. Joy feels out of reach when you're already in the red.
Old Coping Mechanisms Don’t Work:
You long for deep connection, yet your relationships often feel one-sided. Loved ones don’t understand your "info dumps" or the depth of what you’re experiencing, leaving you unseen and disconnected.
Craving Connection but Feeling Invisible:
Systems like healthcare, education, or work leave you feeling unseen and under-supported. Even therapy has felt like a love-hate relationship, as you force yourself into the neurotypical mold, leaving you exhausted and frustrated.
Support Feels Draining:
So, you search & you stumble down a “rabbit hole” of information.
Whether you are researching, self-identified, seeking formal diagnostic assessment or adjusting to your new reality, it is a lot! Doubts, questions, excitement, overwhelm, anger, & fear are predictable as you try to unmask & accommodate your unique needs, for maybe the first time, ever.
(Hello, imposter syndrome, self-doubt, & overwhelm!)
Few know the toll it takes to shut down your internal cues to meet the world’s expectations …but I do.
Hello, I'm Renee.
My specialty was forged by my own experience of childhood & adult trauma. I always felt different from others, but I learned early to “mask,” fawn, & people please. I sought CPTSD recovery in my 40s when I could no longer absorb any more hurt or harm.
At 50, I was assessed for AUDHD. I realized I was more than a “highly sensitive person" & I was in autistic burnout thanks to chronic trauma, Long Covid, & Menopause. Performing “normal” & pushing through in survival mode resulted in reduced energy capacity, reduced ability to “mask,” & increased sensory sensitivities. Assessment brought “grief & relief” & a search for living my most aligned life.
My timeline of healing was long, yours doesn't need to be.

CPTSD SPECIALIST, NARCISSTIC ABUSE SURVIVOR, & LATE DIAGNOSED WOMAN WITH AUDHD
Unwinding conditioning, unmasking, befriending, updating, and unburdening are the steps we take to help your parts heal. The goal is to discover when you feel most like yourself and amplify that.
Understanding what’s involved can guide your discovery, recovery, and reclamation. Let’s put the puzzle pieces together.
Other things thare are likely to be explored:
- New insights, feelings, and needs as you move through awareness, assessment, and integration.
- Energy management – knowing what depletes or restores you.
- Sensory needs – understanding what soothes, grounds, and aligns with your nature.
- Meltdowns – identifying triggers, needs, and recovery strategies.
- Alexithymia – difficulty recognizing and expressing what feels off due to past suppression.
- Shame, frustration, and resistance can lengthen your recovery time.
- Unpacking terms like PDA and RSD – coping with rejection, demands, and pressure.
- Exploring where the masked you and real you meet.
- Neurocomplexity – how mental health, physical health, and environment co-occur.
- Navigating relationships, responsibilities, and resources – trying new ways of being that honor your needs and authenticity.
- Celebrating both small and big moves keeps you on track.
this is exactly what I need
For high-functioning adult women who are late-diagnosed with autism, ADHD, HSP, gifted, never diagnosed, or carrying many labels, I provide care that is as unique as you are.
You don't fit the 'normal' box, so why should your appointment?
Let’s explore which needs are being met; unmet needs are a real energy leak.
Let’s talk about the process of unmasking – it’s not all or nothing!
Let’s celebrate your “coming out” with your new identity & recognize that as one layer is recovered others may be wanting attention too!
Let’s discuss your choices about your energy – where to use it & where to save it.
Let’s honor your unique unfolding. With more freedom & full permission to:
- explore your special interests or find new hobbies
- to learn how to rest well
- to move your body how it wants to move
- And any other “thing” that makes you feel more like YOU.
This work is a mix of Practical & Emotional
if this is what you need, let's chat
Breathwork
Years of suppression make it hard to connect inside. Music paired with breathwork helps your mind soften so that you can connect, sense, feel, & move. Reconnect with your truth & medicine.
IFS
Your essential natue does NOT need to be changed. Your burdens & hurt CAN be helped by parts work. Let's see the real you underneath your mask.
Identifying Your Sensory Profile
Lights, sound, texture, shapes, temperature, how your body likes to move, sensing thirst & hunger, etc...are all places you might be SUPER aware or not aware at all. Let's see what is most & least helpful & create a sensory plan.
Energy Accounting
Identifying energy leaks & making choices to give you energy is essential. ADHD pushes you forward & Autism pulls you back. Managing your drive versus capacity is a common daily dilemna.
Other methods we might explore...
If you are a late diagnosed woman you probably spent most of your life feeling different.

I love seeing the light of recognition in someone's eyes, posture, tone of voice, & witnessing the "aha" - a breakthrough that's evaded them until now.
I love walking alongside people’s journey – witnessing & supporting them through each chapter of their journey – seeing the fruits of their labor harvested, both of us appreciating the time, money, & energy they invested to get themselves to the next level. For people that have experienced trauma, that is justice & redemption – a reclamation, reparation, renewal.

Our story may be different but our shared experience of later in life diagnosis is extraordinary. Helping other women feel better about themselves & their lives is what lights me up inside.
It’s our time to get real & be real.
