I have worked with couples and individuals, who have struggled with the confusion that often accompanies what used to be called Asperger's Syndrome.
I've been working for 32 years helping people develop confidence and the capabilities for personal and profession growth, and for fulfilling relationships. I'm a "Relational" psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapist and psychoanalyst but draw from CBT and solution based therapies as well. I work with individuals and couples from all walks of life and from a wide range of professions. In a safe setting I focus on self-development, communication, and emphasize finding your voice. There isn't a single therapy style for everyone. Together, with your input, I try to create a therapeutic approach suited to your individual needs.

I work with individuals feeling anxiety or depression in regard to their relationships and careers. Making choices is difficult at all stages of life for fear of "getting it wrong." With insight and modification, we can make choices with confidence. When it comes to personal and occupational relationships, we may struggle with communication, boundaries, setting limits, and voicing needs. I help my clients improve in these areas. We thoroughly evaluate communication and conflicts with others to improve effectiveness, self esteem, and esteem from others in personal relationships and at work.

My passion is to work with autistic and neurodivergent individuals. Living as a neurodivergent individual, it’s frustrating how often the systems that autistic and neurodivergent people interact with are not trained in working with folks like us. After being diagnosed with ADHD, I made it a priority to learn more about neurodivergent conditions to contextualize my own experiences, and better help others like me. I have worked in multiple settings with neurodivergent individuals, including crisis response and outpatient therapy.

I have honed my skills to focus more toward treatment and support of neurodivergent individuals. This passion developed due to my work in various agencies and educational systems where neurodivergent individuals were underserved due to lack of knowledge and a lack of understanding on how to support their individual needs.I myself rage against the “norms” of society and feel neurodivergent individuals are often faced with criticism for being different, too often bombarded with people pointing out deficits as opposed to the amazing benefits and strengths of seeing and approaching the world in a unique way.

As a late-diagnosed autistic woman, I have firsthand experience with the struggles shared by many on the spectrum—sensory overload, communication differences, social confusion, and the pressure to appear “normal”. I’m eager to develop supportive, therapeutic relationships with fellow neurodiverse folks, informed by my personal experience and clinical training, in solidarity and with respect for the diverse collective.

I work in private practice and see individuals with many different needs, but my main area of expertise lies in treating teens and adults with autism (previously known as Asperger Syndrome (AS). Many of my autistic clients share characteristics with my "neurotypical" clients. Who hasn't fumbled when speaking to a potential friend or date? Have you ever been told that you misinterpreted something someone said? For individuals with autism, this happens all the time, and most "neurotypicals" can empathize with that.

Someday I'd like to write about "Living Fully and Meaningfully When Times Are Hard". Meanwhile, I am committed to providing a therapeutic relationship that helps people find resilience in themselves to do that. Times are hard for many reasons: relational, financial, vocational, or physiology that stops us: anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder or ADD. I treat adults, couples, adolescents, and children with a soft spot in my heart, and clinical expertise, for young children and parents with attachment, relational, communication, regulatory, separation and self esteem issues. Things can change. Through work that uses relational talk therapy, mindfulness, problem solving and trauma based strategies.

People come to psychologists to find answers, get help, and feel better. Often the true nature and deep complexity of any challenge take time to reveal themselves. As a psychologist and neuropsychologist, I help children, families, and adults with the tools of psychotherapy, neuropsychological testing, legal/forensic evaluation, and consultation. My background in human development is central to my person-centered approach. My special interests include girls and women, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, learning disabilities, neurologic conditions, employment, and life transitions.
