Working with Autistic Individuals Since 1997
my approach
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing Neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ affirming individual and family psychotherapy for children, adolescents and adults. My specialization is working with Autistic and ADHD individuals experiencing anxiety, depression and trauma utilizing evidence-based therapeautic modalities. I offer compassionate, empathic and collaborative psychotherapy.
I use a transdisciplinary approach by bringing together my training in Clinical Social Work, Public Health and Critical Disability Studies. This allows me to connect knowledge and skills from multiple fields and move beyond discipline-specific approaches to best meet the needs of clients and their families. I wholeheartedly support the Neurodiversity Movement, recognizing that neurological differences should be seen and respected the same as any other human variation (different not less).
