Autism Therapist & Autism Life Coach

I provide neurodiversity-affirming therapy and autism support for adults, including late-diagnosed and self-identified autistic adults. I have almost 10 years of experience working with Level 1 Autism (formerly referred to as Asperger's Syndrome), including individuals who have spent much of their lives masking their autistic traits. I work with adults navigating masking, autistic burnout, sensory differences, executive functioning, relationships, anxiety, ADHD, and the process of understanding and accepting their neurodivergence.

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 is a Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist. This provides a unique understanding and perspective—no masking required! I am dedicated to empowering individuals on the Autism Spectrum with support that is both professional and deeply relatable. My mission is to provide a safe, encouraging space to explore your potential and achieve personal growth. Combining expert knowledge with firsthand experience, I am a trusted partner on your journey toward independence, fulfillment, and EMPOWERMENT.

Understanding how ASD affects you and those around you is a key focus of my approach. In a safe space, you can gain insights and strategies to navigate ASD-related challenges—and learn SO MUCH about yourself!

My personal experiences bring empathy and a deep understanding of the needs of individuals on the spectrum. I understand how challenging and isolating raising a neurodivergent child can sometimes feel. I know what it's like to search for answers, advocate for your child, question whether you're doing the right thing, and feel like other people simply don't understand. I help parents better understand their child's neurodivergence while navigating the very real challenges that come with ND parenting and feel supported along the way.

As a neurodivergent adult myself, I also understand what it feels like to be lost, confused, or given well-meaning advice that simply doesn't work for a neurodivergent brain. I know the feeling of being on an island without the right support. You don't have to figure it all out alone.

The most rewarding part of my work is positively impacting my clients’ lives. Seeing them grow, develop skills, improve their quality of life, and become truly EMPOWERED. You are not alone!

  • identifying triggers

  • sensory challenges
