My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, compassion, dedication and authenticity. I strive to create a safe, supportive and trusting environment where individuals will feel comfortable, heard and understood; while exploring their thoughts, feelings, and most "raw" aspects of themselves. I meet each individual where they are and walk beside them on their journey to meet their personal goal(s) to ensure they do not feel alone. I believe the individual leads the sessions, determines what they want and need from each session and goal creation. It is a team effort, but one I am here to support and engage others/team if wanted/needed.

I offer support through personal experience as an autistic individual, parent of three autistic children and professional experience in my specialty areas, such as Autism, foster/kinship care, and fetal alcohol syndrome (FASD). I bring to the table not only research-based knowledge, training and experience, but a plethora of lived knowledge and experience.

I follow the individual’s lead, which means I meet them where they are at. If the individual wants to get right to the deeper things I am more than willing to go there with them; but if they want to get to know me and spend time building trust and rapport first, then we do that. I work with what the individual is comfortable with in every case and situation.

I have a vast majority of skill sets; however, autism, groups, kinship care, adoption, and trauma are my specialty focus areas. I believe that behaviors are trying to tell us something and we need to get to the very root to identify the answer and create words. I work on building healthy relationships, closing gaps in communication patterns, increasing understanding and support for all involved.

My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, compassion, dedication and authenticity. I meet individuals where they are at the beginning of every session, which means there may be a specific style or approach to therapy that will best fit during one session and maybe not again. Therefore, I use the approach that is needed, when it is needed, to best fit the current situation, concern, or hurtle.
