About My Clients
I’m a psychologist who specializes in supporting autistic children, teens, and adults—as well as parents who are trying to understand and support their neurodivergent loved one. I also help couples and individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, OCD, and addictions.

Respect for diversity is central to how I practice.

I see therapy as a collaboration: you are the expert on your life, and my job is to bring clinical experience, curiosity, and tools to help you move toward what matters most to you. I will offer ideas and structure, but I will not push you into decisions that don’t fit your values. I also believe in lifelong learning. The science around autism, trauma, addiction, and mental health is always evolving, and so are the voices of autistic and
