Hi there! I specialize in autism and ADHD supportive services. I have four years of experience working with children and families as a counselor in a mental health setting, especially children with high support needs or disabilities. I currently work part time in special education and part time as a coach, and I am a trainee in a neurodevelopmental disabilities leadership program. As a support provider for kids, I am calm, patient, and nurturing while also being engaging and playful. Sensory integration is my jam! With my adult clients, we tend to focus on independent living skills and supporting executive functioning. Please note: I am a neurodiversity AFFIRMING provider! I do not condone the use of ABA and I do not feel comfortable using behavioral modification with your kids or with any client. I am more than happy to discuss this with you and provide background + evidence for my views. If you are deeply into behavior mod then I will not be a good fit for your family.
