I provide neuroaffirming therapy to teens and adults and testing for children, teens, and adults. My wellness approach is influenced by training in acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, mindfulness techniques, and relaxation and stress reduction strategies. While neurodivergent individuals have myriad strengths, many also experience anxiety or depression, or need to talk to someone to better understand their experiences. I also have training in supporting teen's autonomy daily (STAND), an approach to working with teens with ADHD and their parents.
I have worked for over twenty-five years with individuals with autism in a variety of settings. I tailor therapy and evaluations to the specific needs of each individual. We will meet to collaborate on a personalized approach to therapy, and you have a choice of in office therapy, walk and talk therapy (meet at a local park), and telehealth therapy.
In addition to therapy for teens and adults, I provide individualized testing, including psychoeducational evaluations, to children and adults for autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, and other learning disorders. My goal is to ensure a comfortable, positive experience while developing recommendations and connecting each individual to appropriate resources.
