Malori Evans (Autistic/Adhd)
Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, #153124
The Big Feelings Guide
→ Totally gets that your emotions aren’t “too much”—just unspoken truths waiting to be unpacked.
“Your emotions aren’t too much. They’re trying to tell you something.”

Malori gets that the world often treats sensitive people like they’re the problem—but that’s not how she sees it.
She works with teens who feel everything deeply: the anger, the anxiety, the “why am I crying again?” moments.

​
If you’ve ever been told you’re “too much,” Malori might be exactly who you need to meet.​
