I help neurodivergent people address anxiety, depression, and life transitions so they can live comfortably in a world that often does not accommodate their needs. I have over 12 years of experience working with autism, from a direct care role to becoming a therapist working with this population. I also enjoy working with family members and others who care about someone on the autism spectrum.
While I do not "treat" autism, I help my clients by viewing their concerns through the lens of autism. I am trained in EMDR, which is a powerful tool for getting to the root of many issues without having to talk about it multiple times. We can also work on finding thoughts, actions, and environmental factors that are not serving you well, and figure out how to change what we can control, and adjust thinking on what we cannot.
Given the range of the autism spectrum and other neurodiversity, I am accustomed to meeting clients where they are at, and creating a plan for therapy that we both feel comfortable with. I will be creative and add fun and humor to sessions when it is helpful. I am always open to collaborating and working together to help my clients achieve their goals.
