Intro

Hi! My name is Denise, I use she/her pronouns, and I am a psychologist licensed in New York and Ohio.  I have spent the past 25 years providing therapy to clients with a range of presenting issues and identities, including folx with autism.  I especially like working with people in the LGBTQ+ community and I have lots of experience working with college students.

What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

I have enjoyed working with lots of clients who either have or are seeking autism diagnoses.  Over the past several years I have noticed that my clients are having more and more difficulty finding affordable, accessible resources for getting an autism diagnosis and/or for receiving specialized therapy.  I am excited to work with Prosper to help address this social justice issue and to be part of a positive solution for increasing access to support.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I feel so privileged to get to meet so many amazing and diverse people in my work and I take very seriously the trust that they put in me.  I work hard to understand each person's personal context and identities to ensure that the care I provide meets the needs of that particular person.  Part of the work for me is to ensure that the client and I are both honoring their unique strengths, abilities, and resources that they can utilize to continue in their personal journey.
