Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

I am deeply committed to helping individuals understand their life journey through a lens that emphasizes their strengths and celebrates resilience, creativity, and authenticity. Throughout my career, I have witnessed that while many individuals seek support due to challenges, each person also possesses exceptional qualities that deserve to be recognized and honored. I believe in shifting the focus from perceived deficits to the tremendous potential inherent in every individual, celebrating the unique perspectives that make each person who they are.

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

My mission is to empower you to see and appreciate your strengths, giving a voice to those who may have felt unheard. I prioritize an neurodivergent affirming and strength-based approach to ensure that every individual feels seen, valued, and empowered throughout our work together. I believe that each client possesses unique strengths and abilities that can be harnessed to navigate challenges and achieve personal goals.I will actively listen to your experiences and validate your feelings, fostering a safe and collaborative space where you can express yourself authentically. By changing the lens through which we view neurodiversity, I am dedicated to helping you embrace your authenticity, build stronger relationships, and develop the skills to enrich your life on your own terms. My commitment is to support you in recognizing your exceptional qualities, celebrating your differences, and guiding you to thrive as your most authentic self.
