About My Clients
Being an autistic person in a neurotypical world is confusing. And to the rest of the neurotypical world, some “autistic behaviors” might look odd or unusual. Maybe you want to look less “odd” sometimes. Or maybe you want to stand out, autistic and proud. Using an evidenced based approach to treatment, I help you set goals, build on your personal strengths, and become whatever version of your neurodiverse self that you desire.
My Background and Approach
I specialize in behavioral therapies such as applied behavior analysis, cognitive behavioral therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. We might use things like activity scheduling, role play and rehearsal, contracts, desensitization, self-monitoring strategies, relaxation and mindfulness training…and more! While my approach is grounded in behavior therapy, I integrate elements of positive psychology, solution-focused therapy, person-centered techniques, and motivational interviewing to help us work toward solutions to your problems.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I use my background in special education, and clinical/neuropsychology to take a flexible and integrative approach to assessment and treatment, meeting you wherever you are in your journey. I enjoy working with autistic tween, teens, and adults on self-management, emotional regulation, social issues, finding meaningful relationship, and more! I am a member of the LGBT community and enjoy working with with young adults on these issues. I also have specialized training in health psychology.
