Intro

Hi! I am an LCSW licensed in Nevada and North Carolina. I have been working with neurodivergent kids, teens and adults in various capacities since the start of my career.  My goal with Prosper Health is to assist clients in developing skills to manage depression and anxiety and improve their quality of life.

What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

My child was diagnosed with autism as a toddler. Since then I have done my best to learn as much as possible about neurodivergence. Through this journey I realized there were not enough services to help adults on the spectrum. I am happy to be part of the Prosper team and create change.

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

When working with autistic adults, I take a collaborative approach to counseling, working with patients to reach their goals and to find a place of understanding and healing. I believe everyone should have a safe and healing place to work through life's difficulties. My focus in therapy is to provide a welcoming space for every person, regardless of what brings them in for counseling.
