She is the founder of Best Self Psych, a group of ENM, kink, and LGBTQ+ affirmative therapists and coaches. As a coach, herself, she offers sessions for high performing neurodivergent individuals who want to have more authentic, fulfilling relationships.

She shares some interesting personal stories of her journey being neurodivergent, both the joys and the struggles. Then we move on to talking about what it’s like to date someone who is neurodivergent and what it’s like to date when you, yourself, are neurodivergent.
