I am a licensed psychologist with over 20 years of clinical experience. I am able to evaluate children of all ages as well as adolescents and adults. I am able to perform intellectual and academic testing, disability testing, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorders and testing for gifted. I conduct evaluations for citizenship and Social Security Disability. I am also able to diagnose and test for Asperger's Syndrome and other disorders in the Autism Spectrum. I am a trained child psychologist from an accredited/approved American Psychological Association University and internship program.

I've been a licensed clinical professional for over 40 years. I have a doctorate degree in clinical psychology and 2 master's degrees. I am specifically licensed to do Marital and Family Therapy. I worked 11 years in a psychiatric training facility, Jackson Memorial Hospital/University of Miami. During those years I worked in the psychiatric crisis clinic; the chronic schizophrenic aftercare outpatient clinic; the adolescent inpatient clinic and the psychiatric adult outpatient clinic. The fact that it was a teaching hospital I received excellent training and supervision and opportunities to treat thousands of patients.

My practice is focused on working with autistic and neurodivergent adults. My journey into working with autistic individuals began while seeking answers to my own challenges and unique talents - through this exploration, I found out that I myself am autistic. This knowledge has allowed me to understand myself better and build on my strengths, and I enjoy helping other autistic and neurodivergent people become the best versions of themselves.

Our group practice, Prosper Health, focuses exclusively on autistic adults. Whether you are formally diagnosed or not, I understand the challenges that many autistic adults face - I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, or trauma, burnout, having social or communication issues, processing a recent or suspected diagnosis, struggling with emotional regulation, masking, and more. I have worked with many young adults on preparing for adulthood and gaining independence. I take the time to understand whatever it is that you need, and I personalize my approach to you and your goals.

Taking charge of your healing journey is a heroic step. Much like training for an athletic challenge, it requires dedication, courage, determination, and self-love - as well as a good coach. We will do incredible work together if you are motivated to commit to your own growth process, are curious and open-minded, and are willing to do the sometimes difficult mental, emotional, and spiritual work to change habits and patterns that no longer serve you or those you care about. I'm especially passionate about working with healers, helpers, teachers, parents, caregivers, and people healing from childhood and intergenerational trauma.

After two decades of working in corporate finance, I made the leap to counseling and could not be happier. My ideal client is a human who is struggling to make sense out of all this craziness who is looking for an equally whackadoodle counselor who can sit alongside through all the hard and ugly stuff. I do not have a perfect life; I don't have much figured out. What I do know, though, is that being in the presence of another human being who unconditionally accepts you and sees your worth is healing. That attachment experience heals old wounds like nothing I've ever seen before.

We are a group practice in Florida that focuses on helping autistic adults reach their goals, whatever they may be. Whether you are formally diagnosed or not, we understand the challenges that many autistic adults face - we work with clients experiencing burnout, having social or communication issues, struggling with masking, and more. We take the time to understand whatever it is that you need, and we personalize our approach to you.

I am a clinical psychologist specializing in psychoeducational testing and psychotherapy. My professional life has been spent working with children and families to overcome various obstacles to their personal or academic accomplishments. After graduating from Johns Hopkins University with my Bachelor of Arts degree, I received both my Masters and Doctorate in Psychology from New York University. I have worked with children, adolescents and families in various hospital, school and outpatient clinic settings. Certifications: ADHD - Certified Clinical Service Provider; and Certified Child Adolescent Trauma Professional (CATP)

I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents in various capacities across development. I specialize in completing developmental, diagnostic and psychoeducational evaluations. Evaluations I complete are often looking to rule out the presence of diagnoses that include Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), learning concerns, oppositional defiant disorder, anxiety, and depression, among others. I also provide therapy for children and their parents for a range of emotional and behavioral needs. A focus is given to skill development, both for children and parents.

I have experience and a passion for working with people who feel like they are on the outside, looking in. This may lead to depression, anxiety, frustration, or questions about your identity. I offer a safe space to talk about your challenges and I will do my best to help you work toward progress. I have experience working with LGBTQ+ adults and teens.

Guiding you towards self-discovery/empowerment is my method for helping you understand your own needs more clearly. By decreasing the power of barriers, you open up space for personal growth. I appreciate your interest in counseling, and am happy to help you on your path. Our differences should be appreciated and not stigmatized; I want to help you see the ways your differences are strengths, how to value yourself, and maximize your potential.

Do you have Autism, and are you struggling with your mental health? Are you struggling with your self esteem? With your identity? With your place in the world? Research shows that people with an Autism Spectrum Disorder have a much lower access to mental health services than their non-Autistic peers. Many mental health clinicians are not comfortable working with someone on the spectrum. I AM. I have worked with individuals on the spectrum personally and professionally for over 15 years, and am certified as an Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist.
