You Were Never Broken...

Just Misunderstood.

Have you spent your whole life wondering why everything feels harder for you than it seems to be for everyone else? Maybe you’ve always felt off in social situations, exhausted after conversations, or confused why you can be brilliant at your job yet forget simple things like paying a bill or responding to a text. Maybe you’ve been called “too sensitive,” “too much,” or even “lazy.”

​

Here’s the truth: you’re not lazy. You’re not weird. You’re likely neurodivergent—and you’ve been trying to survive in a world that was never designed with your brain in mind.

​

I'm Derrick, a Neurodivergent Coach for Neurodivergent Adults, and I help people just like you finally understand the patterns that used to feel like personal failures. I’ll help you untangle the masking, the burnout, the social exhaustion, the productivity swings, and give you tools that actually make sense for you. You don’t need to be “fixed”—you need to be seen.

Let’s make sense of the world together.

What if You Weren't Meant to Fit In?

You’ve probably spent your whole life wondering why the world feels like it wasn’t built for you—and that’s because it wasn’t. The mental health system, the workplace, even everyday social norms all operate on a dangerous lie: that there’s a “normal” way to be, and that with enough effort, you can learn to fake your way into it. But here’s the truth—some of us were never meant to fit that mold.

 

Some of us were meant to understand the mold, dismantle it, and build something better. If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve already tried everything—therapy, self-help books, productivity hacks—and you’re still stuck in the same cycles: bursts of brilliance followed by burnout, moments of clarity drowned out by days where you can’t even get out of bed, hyper-focus and zoning out, same songs on repeat, same food, same phrases, same self-judgment. You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. You’re neurodivergent in a world that isn’t designed for you. And I’m here to help you finally understand what that means—not as a label, but as a lens.

 

Together, we’ll unpack the masking, the social exhaustion, the missed cues, the routines that drain instead of recharge, and we’ll start building a system around who you actually are—not who the world told you to be. This isn’t therapy. This is what therapy should have been: honest, actionable, deeply validating guidance from someone who sees you and respects your experience.

 

I’ll help you name what’s been invisible, explain the parts of you that others misunderstand, and give you the language to advocate for yourself in your relationships and career. I offer a free 30-minute consultation, not as a sales pitch, but because you deserve the safety to ask questions and be asked the right ones in return. I’ve helped hundreds of people stop seeing themselves as problems to be fixed and start seeing themselves as people who were never broken in the first place. You don’t have to keep struggling alone. You don’t have to keep managing that one habit, that one loop, that one private pain, by yourself. Real support exists. It starts here.
