Sara Sands
You don't have to have all the answers yet.
If you've always felt different but never knew why—overthinking social situations, struggling to start or finish tasks, feeling overwhelmed by schedules that seem easy for everyone else—you might be neurodivergent. Many college students arrive at my office without a formal diagnosis, just a deep sense that something has been harder for them than it should be.
I specialize in working with ADHD and autistic students, including those who are questioning or self-identified. Together, we can make sense of your patterns, build systems that actually fit your brain, and separate who you are from the shame that has built up over the years. No masking required.
You're not broken. You've just been using the wrong manual.
