Autism Spectrum Disorder

As a neurodiversity affirming therapist I highlight my clients strengths & respect the diverse ways in which their brains functions. I work hard to actively reduce the stigma neurodivergent individuals face and advocate promoting inclusivity for all. I teach food mood psychology and share that a gluten free diet may improve mood greatly.

I work with children that have been tested and diagnosed with ASD. I provide a safe and trusting environment to assist my clients with a therapeutic bond. I design each treatment plan specific to that individual.

I approach autism from a neurodivergence-affirming perspective. The way our society has traditionally presented autism is only one of many ways autistic people can present. I have completed a variety of trainings on autism, including trainings on neurodivergence-affirming diagnosis and on autistic women. I am also an active participant in autistic community, listening to the lived experience of autistic adults.

Needs are hard to understand when society has decided what's appropriate and what's not ahead of time. Autistics can feel misunderstood and too much which can shut them down. I can help you learn to recognize your needs and how to advocate for them.

Late diagnosis can bring about many difficult feelings including grief. Through work on unmasking and identity, my hope is to support you in beginning to live life authentically and in a way that creates safety in previously difficult situations.

I help clients who identify (either via past diagnosis or self-diagnosed) as neurodiverse, including individuals on the autism spectrum, highly sensitive individuals, and those form whom their senses and processing are heightened.

We work with kids aged 3-18 on the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their family members, guardians, and caregivers to provide top-class support and care.

I have over 15 years of experience navigating the complexities of autism and sexuality. In many ways, this is its own specialized area of care due to the unique sensory sensitivities, mathematical cognitive patterns, and struggles navigating social dynamics. I work with autistic adults to build communication strategies, which are especially important when one partner is neurotypical. In these cases, my therapy approach is to foster active communication and building clarity in relationships.

I have worked with people of all ages on the Autism Spectrum since I graduated from college. From there I worked with families and their children doing ABA therapy. However, it was never quite a fit for me, so I continued to graduate school in order to connect with people that was more natural for my personality in counseling. I have several people in my family diagnosed with Autism so this is a diagnosis near and dear to me both professionally and personally.

As both a clinical social worker and a certified special education teacher, I work with adults with high functioning autism spectrum disorder.

I am on the Autism Spectrum myself, and understand how this disorder impacts people, and changes some presentation of other struggles such as Anxiety or Depression. I have worked with countless clients who fall on this spectrum, and helped them improve their functioning, understanding how their neuro-spicyness impacts them, and improve their communication skills and social functioning.
