Finding the right therapist when you or your child are Autistic or have ADHD can feel exhausting. You’re tired of working with professionals who don’t truly understand neurodivergence or who offer strategies designed for neurotypical people. Whether you’re navigating late diagnosis, parenting a neurodivergent child or teen, or struggling with co-parenting, blended family stress, school challenges, anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem, you want a therapist who just gets it—someone who can help you create solutions that fit you, not force you to mask or adapt to unrealistic expectations.
Imagine being in therapy where you feel comfortable enough to finally put down your mask. I’m a Board-Certified Autism Specialist (CAS) & Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I specialize in working with neurodivergent individuals, teens, & families. My integrative approach blends evidence-based psychotherapy with understanding the mind-body connection.
Beyond traditional therapy, I incorporate functional medicine principles, recognizing how food impacts mood and mental health. I provide a space where you can work through life transitions, trauma, and parenting challenges. I see clients virtually and in person at my Boca Raton office. Call or email me for a free 20-minute consultation now – (954) 866-7935.
