Treatment Approach

What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

As a psychologist, I specialize in working with autistic/neurodivergent clients due to my understanding and respect for your unique needs that are not always considered. Autistic individuals can present in unique and diverse manners and I wanted to provide services that embrace these diversities.

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

I will bring an affirming and strength-based approach to working with you by tailoring services to your specific needs and strengths. Respecting and incorporating your voice into service provision. Your individual strengths will be explored and be utilized from a strength-based approach to improving your overall functioning.
