I have 30 years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults in community mental health and school- based settings. As an Autism specialist, I work to increase the understanding of challenges unique to Autism and the ability of individuals and families to cope in positive and productive ways. My work with children and adolescents often includes advocacy and collaboration with schools and other relevant treatment and service providers. I aim to build mutual support and understanding across home, academic, and/or vocational environments.
I also have extensive experience helping people manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. I often combine visual, video, and interactive social communication strategies in conjunction with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when working with Autism and similar diagnoses.
Mindfulness and trauma informed therapies are some of the additional strategies I use to address anxiety, PTSD, and depression. I feel strongly, however, that establishing and maintaining a trusting and supportive relationship with my clients is essential for the success of any therapeutic process.
