I am an AuDHD specialist in the area of Neurodiversity and Autism. I specialize in high masking autism, and late diagnosed Autistic adults. I am a certified AANE Neurodiverse Couples therapist, as well as a trauma informed provider. My “nerding” knows no bounds, and in the world of special interests, Autism is mine. And…pizza making…and photography…and the never-ending pursuit of the perfect coffee mug.
My blend of therapy is “Autism focused” and I consider myself to be an identity based therapist, meaning my own Neurodivergent identity is a part of my work. I offer interview-based Autism assessments and a modern approach on Autism that seems to go misdiagnosed by so many practitioners.
If you want a safe place to unmask, to stim, to stop worrying about where your eyes are focused or what your facial expressions are “saying”, this is a place where it’s safe to be uniquely you. In my virtual “office,” you can tell me I’m wrong, tell me you’re offended, and ask for what you need. This is a place where you can take a break, say everything, say nothing, or ask what I mean. We can talk, or type, and it’s ok if it that takes time. This is a safe place to talk about your interests…full force. You do not have to “make sense,” or be afraid to speak about things that are taboo or not of the popular opinion This is a place where you can share what is most personal to you. This is a place where for an hour, you can let your guard down and be you.
I hope this therapy will be different than what you’re used to.
