I enjoy working with ages 10+ in identifying areas of concern and working collaboratively in development of a treatment plan that works for them at their particular stage in life. I love working with clients on the Autism Spectrum, particularly as they are transitioning into adulthood, as well as working with their parents or guardians on identification of needs and creating a one step at a time plan customized foreach client.
I have worked with adolescents and adults for several years in community mental health settings, allowing me to work with a wide array of clients, diagnoses, and goals. I am solution focused and trained in several types of therapy approaches, to include trauma focused therapies.
I am excited to meet you to see if we may be a good fit and if telehealth is an appropriate option for you.
