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

My motivation for working with autistic adults stems from a respect for all individuals, and also the knowledge that each person is uniquely and wonderfully made.  I am inspired to help people to identify their strengths, keeping in mind that those who fall on the spectrum often have many strengths that they have yet to identify.  Often, they require help to identify their unique skill-set that can be a strength, as they navigate the world .  I would like to embark upon this journey with you.

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

I utilize a strength-based approach, that is fostered by adhering to an unconditional positive regard for you, and your world view.  Self expression, and safety will be reinforced.
