Let’s talk about: anxiety, autism spectrum disorders, parenting stress, depression, loss/grief, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, teenage issues, obsessions/compulsions, and emotional stresses. I am Licensed Mental Health Counselor who holds a Master of Science degree in Clinical Psychology. I am a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP) and a Certified Mindfulness-informed Clinician (CMC-1) with many years of experience delivering evidence based psychotherapy such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), strength based approaches, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions.
I specialize in treating mental health challenges that typically accompany the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders for the individual and their family by helping children/teens experiencing anxiety, stress, and social challenges and teaching coping strategies and providing psychotherapy specific to parents of children with autism or other special needs.
Research suggests that a trusting alliance with your counselor is the most important catalyst for healing. I have had success establishing trust even with reluctant adolescents. I am a compassionate, nonjudgemental, & relaxed psychotherapist. I look forward to providing a positive approach to support you or your loved one on a journey of healing & growth.
