Parents, are you struggling with your children on the Autism Spectrum or developmental delays? Are your children displaying challenges with difficulties in identifying emotions, relating to others or adjusting to their school environment? Or perhaps you have experienced difficulties with things such as feeling sadness, or lack of motivation or maybe you’ve even struggled with feelings of panic when you are out in public and worried something bad will happen to you? I specialize in working with children, adolescents and adults managing Autism Spectrum Disorders, Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities and Physical Disabilities.

I focus on looking at the whole person and the uniqueness of each individual. I partner with clients to dispel beliefs about themselves that have limited their ability to fully realize their goals. I look at where clients are focusing their thoughts, how that may be having a negative impact, and work to shift that mindset to be more confident and productive.

I have experience in a variety of settings including ABA therapy, Play therapy, EMDR, and EMDR for children. My approach is optimistic and I focus on the human capacity to overcome hardships, pain and despair. Together we can embrace each situation in a warm, safe and accepting therapeutic environment. I believe that everyone has strengths and that even our greatest challenges can become a superpower.
