Does your child struggle to communicate feelings, misunderstand social cues, or manage intense emotions? Is your child impulsive, has trouble completing tasks, or suffers from sensory overload? These challenges can leave them feeling isolated, dampen their self-esteem, and strain their family and peer systems. If you are looking for a compassionate and skilled therapist to navigate the journey of being or feeling different, I am here to help. I specialize in individuals who are navigating the unique challenges associated with developmental differences, such as ADHD and Autism. I run a virtual support group for parents, as well.
