Intro

Greetings! I am a clinical psychologist who is licensed in Connecticut, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.  I completed undergraduate training in my hometown of Baltimore and graduate training in southern California.  I have extensive experience treating children and adults diagnosed with autism and integrating holistic, evidence-based, practical therapeutic strategies to manage symptoms and accomplish goals

What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

I have been working with individuals diagnosed with autism for almost 15 years.  In my work, I  continue to learning more about the ways that neurodivergent and autistic individuals are often underserved and marginalized.  I am very excited to be a small part in changing that.  I appreciate that our work at Prosper is providing a new space for autistic adults.

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

As someone who does not shy away from being different and walking in my own path, I feel very comfortable with people who think differently and love to help them find and build on their strengths in order to identify and live more authentic lives.
