Areas of Specialization
Social-Emotional Communication
Explore how to communicate authentically with others across settings. Learn how to read your internal signals for emotions. Get support for alexithymia and how it relates to communication needs.
Executive Functioning
Autistic people often experience challenges with working memory and cognitive flexibility. Fortunately, there are strategies that can help. Working with a qualified clinician can help you figure out how to use your strengths to find individualized strategies that go beyond “use a planner.”
Self-Advocacy
People with disabilities face discrimination called ableism. Learn how ableism is impacting your communication and strategies for how to advocate for your needs at home, work, and/or school, including requesting accommodations.
Unmasking
Masking can help autistic adults survive in a world that is not built for them. It is associated with suppressing one’s true self in order to meet the expectations of others. Work collaboratively to identify how masking might be affecting your communication, and how and when to choose to mask or unmask.
Self-Care Coaching
The world can be overwhelming for autistic adults. Learning individualized self-help strategies can help prevent or reduce burnout.
Education
Learn about the latest relevant research about autism, communication, and disability rights, presented in actionable and bite-size portions.
Why Choose Us
It’s important to choose a clinician that matches your values and understands your brain. Although it is improving, most traditional interventions have focused on performing neurotypicality (i.e., masking) which is harmful. Instead, I focus on centering your experiences and supporting your individual needs.
