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.
