NEURODIVERGENT COUPLES THERAPY IN LAKEWOOD, COLORADO
Relationships don't come with a rulebook.
Good thing you get to write your own.
Holistic, neurodivergent couples therapy that embraces all of who you are — identity, sex, relationships, and the messy beauty of being a human in love.
Neurodiverse relationships can be tough — not because there's something wrong with you or your partner(s), but because you’ve been handed a script that doesn’t fit
Whether you're a neurodivergent couple, or in a non-traditional relationship, you’ve probably been taught how relationships should look. Society says you should communicate like this, divide responsibilities like that, and express love in a certain way.
Trying to meet these social expectations creates tension, conflict, and confusion for neurodivergent relationships that aren’t built to fit in a predefined box. Instead of trying to follow traditional relationship norms, let’s ditch the outside noise telling you what's right or wrong — and figure out what works for you.
THERAPY FOR NEURODIVERGENT COUPLES
A space where you don't have to explain or justify your identity, relationship structure, or neurodivergence.
Navigating ADHD, autism, or Complex PTSD and relationships is no easy task. One of you feels like you’re always failing in your relationship no matter how hard you try. The other feels like they’re walking on eggshells, trying to say things the right way, and wondering, "is this normal!?!" (Yes. Yes it is.)
But with the right support you can:
* Develop a common understanding of how each partner experiences the world, reducing resentment and increasing empathy.
* Shift from feeling like adversaries to working together as allies, creating a relationship that supports and uplifts both partners.
* Learn to understand each other, navigate emotional triggers, and communicate in a way that doesn’t leave one partner feeling broken and the other feeling unheard.
* Rebuild trust and safety in your relationship so you can feel truly connected.
* Feel like a team again, and know that you’re moving toward something together instead of circling the same fights and misunderstandings, over and over.
Therapy for Mixed-Neurotype Couples
Non-traditional relationships come with their own beautiful complexities, and the potential for deep connection — but they can also come with a laundry list of unique challenges a mile long.
Therapy can help you find your way and:
* Learn how to express your needs and concerns without fear or misinterpretation.
* Move past external judgment and feel secure in the relationship dynamic that works for you.
* Learn strategies for handling external judgment and protecting your relationship.
* Heal from crossed boundaries and rebuild safety in play and intimacy.
* Create relationship structures that work for everyone involved, preventing resentment and misalignment.
* Develop emotional security and strategies to process jealousy in a healthy way.

Neurodivergent Couples Therapy That Meets You Right Where
You Are — Because Relationships Are NOT One-Size-Fits-All
Every neurodiverse relationship is unique, and so is the way I work. There's no formulas or frameworks. I draw from multiple therapeutic approaches to find what works best for you and your partner(s). My process is flexible, collaborative, and attuned to your relationship’s specific needs.
I know therapy can feel intimidating at first — like sitting across from someone who's analyzing you, ready to diagnose and prescribe. But that's not how it works here.
I'm here to be a guide, an ally, and just another human who gets it.
This is a place where you can be your full, raw, unfiltered self. Where healing happens on your terms, without shame, judgment, or cookie-cutter solutions.

Sex, Love, and the Stories We Carry
As a certified sex therapy informed professional, I know that sex is a critical part of the conversation in therapy. The way we experience love, intimacy, and connection is deeply shaped by our past. Trauma doesn’t just live in our minds—it shows up in our relationships, our sense of safety, and most definitely in our sex lives.
I work with you to:
* Unpack how early experiences shape your relationship patterns.
* Recognize how trauma might be affecting intimacy and connection.
* Navigate love, sex, and relationships in ways that feel safe, fulfilling, and true to who you are.
For couples — especially mixed-neurotype and non-traditional relationships — this work is crucial. Sex is how we spiritually and emotionally connect with our partners, and it's where a lot of relational trauma will show up. But our society tends to make sex something shameful that should be hidden away.
That's not how I operate. Therapy with me is a wide open space to explore all aspects of who you are and how you express yourself. Trust me — there's nothing you can say that'll make me blush. I've heard it all, and I'm here for it. But you can give it your best shot!

FAQs
Have Questions?
Q: Where can I find neurodiverse couples therapy near me?
If you’re looking for neurodivergent-affirming couples therapy, I offer virtual sessions across Colorado and in-person therapy in Lakewood and the Front Range. I work with couples where one or both partners have ADHD, autism, or complex trauma.
Q: How do I deal with a neurodivergent spouse?
Understanding your partner’s neurodivergence — whether ADHD, autism, or CPTSD — can help you approach challenges with empathy rather than frustration. Couples therapy can help you both develop strategies for communication, emotional regulation, and conflict resolution in a way that makes you both feel seen, heard, and understood.
Q: What type of therapy is best for neurodiverse couples?
The best therapy for neurodiverse couples is neurodivergent-affirming couples therapy, which takes into account differences in communication, sensory needs, and emotional processing. In my Lakewood, Colorado therapy practice, I use approaches like Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Imago Relationship Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, and psychoeducation-based therapy to help my clients build stronger relationships and reconnect.
