I can assess you to determine whether you meet the criteria for ASD.
I also provide individual therapy for adults who are seeking more effective social skills, improved self-understanding, and greater self-esteem.
Finally, I help neurodiverse couples develop positive, healthy relationship patterns that improve communication and reduce negative interactions.
