Adrian offers therapy that is collaborative, grounded, and deeply respectful of who you already are. He brings a calm and steady presence into the room, creating space for you to slow down, reflect, and move toward meaningful change.

As a neurodivergent therapist, Adrian practices from a neuro-affirming, trauma-informed, sex-positive, gender-affirming, and kink-affirming lens. He understands that many people have been misunderstood, mislabeled, or told they are “too much” or “not enough.” His work focuses on helping clients reconnect with their strengths rather than pathologizing difference.

If you are navigating ADHD, autism, grief, emotional regulation, intimacy concerns, athletic identity shifts, or relationship challenges, Adrian works with you to understand what you are truly up against and to focus therapy on what matters most to you. Therapy with Adrian is not about fixing you. It is about clarifying patterns, understanding your values, and building a life aligned with who you actually are.
