I provide evidence-based and neurodiversity-affirming support for autistic children ages 2–12, along with coaching for their parents, caregivers, and teachers. I draw on 20+ years of experience building communication, emotion regulation, and academic skills, always through a compassionate, strengths-based lens. My approach integrates contemporary Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) with child development science and the social model of disability. I collaborate with schools, preschools, early intervention programs, and allied professionals. I also work with other therapists whom I supervise. Together we offer flexible therapy options.
These options range from comprehensive (several sessions per week) to focused (less frequent) therapy sessions. Most sessions are provided in the child’s natural environment—including home, school, or community —rather than in the office. We come to the places where challenges naturally arise, allowing us to work directly within the real-world context.
As a neurodivergent person myself, and an immigrant, I am committed to culturally responsive care and honoring each child’s values, background, and identity.
As a parent and a professional, having advocated for children for the past 20 years, I can guide and support you in accessing any additional services your child may need (i.e. access to diagnosis )
