AUTISM/NEURODIVERGENCE

What sets me apart is that my counseling and coaching are provided by someone on the Spectrum, who has raised two now adult ND children, and someone who is a Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist, providing a unique understanding and perspective. No masking required! I am dedicated to empowering individuals on the Autism Spectrum. I bring a personal and empathetic understanding to every session, ensuring that support is not only professional but also deeply relatable. My mission is to provide a safe and encouraging space where individuals can explore their potential and achieve personal growth. I believe in the power of support from someone who genuinely understands the journey as someone on the Spectrum. My approach combines expert knowledge with firsthand experience, making me a trusted partner in my clients' journeys towards independence and fulfillment, helping to EMPOWER them!

Understanding how ASD affects you and others around you is a key focus of my approach. I aim to provide a safe space where you can gain insights and strategies to navigate the challenges that come with ASD. You will learn SO MUCH about yourself!

My personal experiences with ASD, GAD, OCD, PTSD, and ADHD diagnoses influence my methods by bringing empathy and a deep understanding of the unique needs of individuals on the Spectrum. Both of my now adult children are also on the Spectrum, so I know what it's like to raise kids on the Spectrum as well, helping me to connect with parents. I understand what it's like to feel lost and confused. I know what it's like to have people who mean well, giving me advice that doesn't work for Neurodivergence. I know what it's like to feel like I was on my own little island with no support. Let me be there for you.

The most rewarding aspect of my work is making a positive impact on the lives of my clients. Seeing my clients grow, develop new skills, and improve their quality of life is truly fulfilling, and becoming truly EMPOWERED. You are not alone!

 

I help my  clients with:

  • identifying triggers

  • sensory challenges

  • decompressing (when and why it's needed, and HOW)

  • picky eating

  • social challenges

  • sleeping issues

  • anger/aggression

  • executive functioning

  • relationship challenges

  • work challenges

  • self awareness, self esteem, and self advocation

  • communication challenges

  • literalness

  • life goals

  • someone to talk to who "gets it"  

  • overall education and support for Neurodivergence.

No official diagnosis? That's okay! I support self-diagnosed ASD as well!
