A Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who is passionate about serving children, adolescents, and their families. I accept children ages 4 and up and specialize in aiding families with autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, emotional regulation, behavioral concerns, family functioning, and parent training.
I am honored to serve children and their families as a clinical autism specialist. Additionally, I offer Autism diagnosing services via a comprehensive assessment process consisting of the ADI-R, ADOS, diagnostic interview and results session.
I utilize a Person-Centered and Behavioral Therapy approach with my clients and work to tailor the counseling experience to each client’s specific needs – I recognize that all clients are individuals who require personalized care. I work to meet all clients with a compassionate, empathetic, and hopeful demeanor.
