I have specialized training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I embrace a strengths based and solution focused framework and hold the core belief that you innately possess great potential! Please note that I hold a specialized credential in neurodivergence, more specifically in Autism. I am dedicated to helping neurodivergent folks find and celebrate their most authentic selves.
