Has life with an Autism Diagnosis taken you on an unexpected life path? I work with children, teens, young adults, and adults, as well as parents/caregivers, who are navigating Autism Spectrum Disorder. Are you in need of an Autism Assessment or coping skills and guidance for yourself, as a parent in need of support, or for your child to help improve regulating skills, communication skills to reduce anxiety and sensory overload? You may have experienced anxiety, burnout and/or trauma as an individual affected by ASD or are Autism Suspecting or as a Parent and are in need of guidance, resources and support in navigating your journey.
I believe the entirety of the individual is affected when facing challenges of Autism, Trauma and Anxiety. Your life may be impacted in many ways. As a Certified Autism Specialist, I am here to support. I utilize EMDR and The Safe and Sound Protocol focusing on mindfulness to encourage healing; culminating in a collaborative, holistic, therapeutic approach.
Many individuals and families experience mental health challenges at varying points on their Autism journeys. As a mother of a child who is affected by Autism and having worked with many affected by ASD, I provide Neurodivergent Affirming Care, as well as administer MIGDAS and ADOS evaluations. Reach our today to receive direction, and gain inner peace.
