We all have moments of feeling isolated and “stuck.” This can stem from the difference between what your life looks like now and how you would like it to be. The stress of this disconnection can seep into all aspects of your world: socially withdrawing or getting into more arguments can lead to depression and relationship conflict. You might feel like what you do is never “good enough,” increasing anxiety. You might hide your stress by focusing on what you can control, particularly after traumatic events. Therapy can help bring back joy and spontaneity into your life, helping you feel more fulfilled and energized.

I provide coaching and therapy for individuals on the autism spectrum, as well as parent coaching. I have been developing my program and approach for 30 years now. My clients learn to understand autism on a deeper level as I work with them on black-and-white thinking, expressing emotions, and the need for masking. My clients learn to prioritize flexibility from a heartfelt standpoint to achieve a better career, relationship, or social life. I also train parents to teach this process to their children, which can include even beginning language and addressing challenging behaviors for levels 2 and 3.
