I work with a diverse group and specialize in teens, young adults, and families. I am committed to neurodiversity and autonomy-affirming practices. I aim to help you and your teen navigate this ever-changing world and how it affects them as individuals, and within your family unit. I utilize different therapeutic strategies to navigate issues surrounding self-esteem, anxiety, depression, grief, navigating social media, and life experiences that may be challenging for neurodiverse individuals. Parents find therapeutic alliance helpful in creating a safe space to connect, refocus, and share in both a respectful and proactive manner.
I am well-versed in the unique experiences and challenges faced by autistic teens and adults.
The first step to finding the right fit for the therapeutic alliance is a conversation. Contact me for a free consultation. I look forward to speaking with you!
