Autism is a natural part of human diversity with unique and diverse strengths and challenges that vary widely from person to person.
Autism can impact many aspects of our life, including how we process information and how we interact with the world.
As a therapist, my job is to support your challenges and celebrate your strengths, so you can live your life to your fullest capacity.
Autism affirming treatment is focused on creating coping skills that make life truly manageable.
Life is busy and full of pressure. There's never a convenient time to have a meltdown.
Together we can identify your triggers for meltdowns and sensory overwhelm, make a realistic plan to avoid triggers when possible, and create a self-care plan when those triggers are unavoidable.
Together, we can identify your needs, or your child's needs through individualized, strengths-based Autistic counseling, create a realistic self-care plan that really works!
My approach to working within the Autistic community through Autism affirming treatment is rooted in honoring our limitations, such as allowing guilt-free rest, creating sensory breaks, and grieving our differences if needed.
So many of my clients compare themselves to others and say, “I should be able to do that” and spiral into self-hatred when they cannot do the things “they should” be able to do.
My work as a neurodivergent therapist and neuroaffirming provider is often focused on challenging narratives of “should” and reorienting to narratives that make life more tolerable; while also learning tangible skills so we can achieve our goals and live the life we dream of living.
