Has life with an Autism Diagnosis taken you on an unexpected life path? I work with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults, as well as parents/caregivers, who are navigating ASD. Are you in need of an Autism Assessment? Seeking coping skills and support for yourself, as a parent in need of support, or for your child to improve emotional regulation and communication to reduce anxiety and sensory overwhelm? You may be experiencing anxiety, burnout and/or trauma as an individual affected by Autism or you may be Autism Suspecting or as a Parent and are in need of a roadmap, resources and support in navigating your journey.
I believe the entirety of the individual is affected when facing challenges of Autism and Anxiety. Your life may be impacted in many ways. As a Certified Autism Specialist, I am here to support you and/or your child. I utilize ADOS-2 and MIGDAS-2 Autism evaluations focusing on finding answers and clarity together as we find the right way forward together
Many individuals and families experience mental health challenges at junctures on their Autism journeys. As a mother of a child who is affected by Autism and having worked with many affected by ASD, I provide Neurodivergent Affirming Assessments. Reach out today to receive direction and navigate the path forward with confidence.
