I believe in people. I believe in our resilience, our power, and in our capacity for change. I love being a witness to those beautiful light bulb moments where we recognize the truth about ourselves and start living with more purpose and resolve. I love helping people find those solutions within themselves - I know they are there! As a former Substance Use Disorder Counselor, I could see how clients were desperately seeking a way to cope with deep trauma. I wanted to dive deeper. I wanted to help others get to the root of their problems.

I have specialized in autism and Asperger's syndrome for 20 years, and my practice is currently limited to individuals who have or are suspected of having an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This can include presenting problems such as anxiety, depression, aggression, compliance issues, which often arise because of difficulties with social communication and inflexible thinking. ASD is often missed in girls and women, because they try harder to fit in, and pretend to be normal. I believe that every person has innate worth and deserves to live in peace.
