My ideal client is someone who struggles with expressing themselves, someone who is frustrated about being misunderstood, someone who may not feel like they belong. I enjoy working with people who want to be accepted for who they are, who want to be more independent and who want to understand the world around them.

I work with children, teens and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder. I help them become more independent, more able to tackle social interactions and to cope better with situations that are difficult for them. I also work with parents and schools to ensure that everyone is on the same page in order to create effective change.

I have personal experience with having an autistic person in my life. I am a parent. For these reasons I am uniquely qualified to understand the emotions that come with an autism diagnosis as well as how to lead clients from confusion and despair into hope and understanding.

I use play based therapy and proven ABA techniques to help my clients live more independent and productive lives. During our initial sessions, we will get to know each other and I will design a personalized treatment plan to help with the issues that are most important to the client. Most of my clients experience less behaviors and more acceptance and satisfaction within the first month.
