I offer compassionate and neuro-affirming assessments for autism for children and adults, and psychoeducational assessments. In therapy, I use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help identify negative underlying thoughts that are impacting how you feel, and we examine what changes in behaviour could help, and EMDR therapy can be very effective to help you work through traumatic experiences.
