Autism Therapists in New York, NY
I provide individual therapy for adolescents and adults navigating themes including anxiety, depression, life transitions, neurodiversity (ADHD, autism spectrum disorder), workplace culture, academic stress, relationships, and everyday stressors.
My approach is collaborative, non-judgemental, strengths-based, parts incorporative, and neurodiversity affirming. Therapy is not about changing who you are, but about building skills that allow you to highlight who you truly are.
Throughout my clinical career in educational, outpatient hospital, and private practice settings, I have helped adolescents, adults, and families identify, understand, and shift thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that interfere with socioemotional and professional goals. Together, we can transform setbacks into tools for growth and clarity.

I specialize in comprehensive ADHD testing and Autism evaluations for children, teens, and adults.

I am trained in Motivational Interviewing, Play Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, SPIRIT/ID-A for autism / ID, and EMDR.
I strongly believe everyone has innate strengths and a capacity for resilience. I wish to help creative people re-invigorate their perception of beauty in the world and in themselves, particularly if you feel existential anxiety and wish to become more grounded, focused, and satisfied with your life. I strongly believe you hold the answers, though sometimes this requires the right questions to be asked and a warm, safe environment for introspection and expression.
