I specialize in neurodiversity, from Autism to ADHD, as well as providing support to the families that love these brilliant & interesting thinkers.
I work with a variety of clients with a variety of needs. The thing that most of them have in common is a feeling of being a bit stuck. Many of my clients are experiencing transitions in life, transitions into new work environments or life phases. Other clients are needing to make a transition & I can help them weigh their options & process their choices. I believe at my core that none of us were intended to do life alone. My clients’ goals are usually pretty simple, they want to be more present in their lives and move forward in a meaningful way.

As a Counselor, I specialize in anxiety, depression, PTSD and cognitive functioning deficits such as learning differences, attention difficulties ( ADD/ ADHD), concussion, traumatic brain injury (TBI), cerebrovascular accident/infarct (stroke) and degenerative diseases (dementia).
My goal is to enable clients to cope with life changes, learning differences, difficulties in thinking (cognitive deficits) and emotional instability in a supportive environment by learning self-management (mindfulness) and coping skills.
For those with autism or ADHD, this can be a regular struggle as emotional regulation and understanding social cues, such as body language, is often lacking. Connection with others becomes increasingly difficult when we are not aware of our own emotions and fail to understand others' feelings. Sadly, this can keep us from connecting socially and lead to isolation. Through our Social Skills Group, we will focus on emotional regulation, role play, and social cue identification to help overcome these obstacles. We will even have planned outings to practice your new skills to help you flourish into a social butterfly.

I offer Nurtured Heart Approach® (NHA) workshops to groups of parents, teachers, or other mental health professionals. They can then put this empowering approach into practice with their children, students, or clients. The core principles of NHA include focusing and being intentional in de-energizing negativity, in actively recognizing strengths, and in providing clear expectations consistently. NHA teaches ways to "reset" to help self-regulate. This approach delves deeper than typical behavioral interventions by seeing and addressing the heart of the child rather than just the misbehavior or emotional dysregulation. Contact me for details.
