Life can be stressful, especially if you have a diagnosis of Autism/Aspergers. Navigating your social world and relationships can be confusing when you see the world through a different lens than your peers. However, with coaching and practice, social situations, relationships, school and work can be less intimidating. If you're a parent of a child with Autism, receiving a diagnosis of autism shatters a parent’s dreams. You wonder if you child will ever learn to talk, have friends, get a job, or live independently. You need support and advice from a trusted professional who can guide you on this difficulty journey.

I work with adults, couples and families - and what remains consistent is the thread of hope we each have to be better, to do better, to feel better.

Collaboratively, we create and execute a customized treatment plan.
