Autism

Autism Support for Adolescents, Adults, and Caregivers

Neurodiversity-Affirming Therapy in Texas

Do you or someone you love experience the world a little differently? Maybe communication, social interaction, or sensory overwhelm feels harder to navigate. Or perhaps your child thrives on structure and routine but struggles when things change. You’re not alone—and support is available.

I specialize in helping autistic adolescents, adults, and their caregivers build confidence, connection, and emotional balance through a compassionate, neurodiversity-affirming approach. Autism is not a flaw—it’s a different way of experiencing and processing the world. My goal is to help each person recognize their strengths, manage challenges, and live in alignment with who they truly are.

What I Offer

I provide therapy and supportive consultation for individuals and families seeking understanding, strategies, and emotional support related to autism and neurodivergence. While I do not currently offer formal diagnostic testing for autism, I help clients and caregivers navigate everyday life with greater clarity and resilience.

My services include:

  • Therapy for Autistic Adolescents & Adults — Focused on emotional regulation, anxiety management, sensory overwhelm, identity exploration, and self-advocacy.

  • Parent & Caregiver Coaching — Guidance and strategies to improve communication, strengthen relationships, and reduce stress within the family system.

  • Life Transitions & Burnout Support — Helping autistic and neurodivergent clients adapt to change, manage routines, and prevent sensory or emotional exhaustion.

  • Relationship & Communication Skills — Building confidence, understanding, and trust in friendships, family, and partnerships.

    My Approach

    My work is trauma-informed, affirming, and individualized. I believe therapy should honor each person’s unique way of thinking and feeling while helping them build the tools they need to thrive. Together, we focus on understanding behaviors through the lens of safety, regulation, and connection—not shame or “fixing.”

    Whether you are a parent learning to support your child, an autistic adult exploring identity, or a couple navigating communication and neurodiversity within your relationship, I offer a safe, supportive space for reflection and growth.

    You Don’t Have to Navigate This Alone

    If you’re a caregiver, parent, or adult seeking guidance, I would be honored to support you on this path. Through collaborative therapy and coaching, we can create meaningful change, celebrate strengths, and foster connection in ways that feel sustainable and authentic.
