About My Clients

I have heard many autistic people say they would feel more comfortable with an autistic therapist. Just knowing that you don't have to educate or explain all of the details of things like autistic inertia, meltdowns, or sensory differences can be a relief.

My Background and Approach

I have been a licensed therapist for about ten years. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, depression, anxiety. I have supported clients in strengthening and building coping skills, in learning who they are and how to live more authentically, and in building confidence and self-esteem. I have a special interest in working with Autistic and other neurodivergent people. As I therapist, I believe in meeting clients where they are, acknowledging and drawing on existing strengths to help them work toward their goals. I draw on a variety of therapeutic approaches, to find what will work best for you. I welcome honest feedback from my clients; if an intervention isn't helpful for you, I want to know, so we can find something that is.
