As a professional, autistic individual, and parent of three autistic children, I bring both personal and professional insight to my work. With specialized training in autism, foster and kinship care, and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD), I offer empathetic, informed support. My lived experience allows me to connect authentically with clients and guide them to the resources they need to thrive. This insight allows me to not only relate authentically to my clients, but also to guide them toward the resources and referrals necessary to help them thrive.
By integrating evidence-based practices with lived experience, I provide a compassionate, informed, and holistic approach to therapy. My objective is to support clients throughout every stage of their journey—whether through individual therapy, family support, or connection to appropriate community resources.
Therapy is a partnership, with the client leading the way. You have the freedom to determine what you want and need from each therapy session. I follow your lead. I am flexible and will meet you exactly where you are, adjusting my approach to best fit your needs in the moment and throughout your therapy journey.
