I have an affinity for working with individuals who are longing for change, meaningful connection, and internal safety. Many have gone through life feeling unseen, at the mercy of, or in the shadows of others making it difficult to establish boundaries, self-compassion, and authentic connection. If you can relate and are having a difficult time with anxiety, depression, complex trauma/developmental trauma, ADHD, Adult Autism Spectrum, religious/spiritual wounding, sexuality, and/or other situations that have left you feeling disconnected from the life you want to live, you are not alone, it can be different.

Let’s face it. Our children are facing an ever-growing, chaotic world and are often ill equipped to deal with the challenges they are facing. As a parent are you feeling lost and unsure as to how to help? Does your teenager or young adult cringe when you as a parent mention seeing a therapist? Young people could care less about theory, modality, and technique. They need connection, empathy and trust in a “professional” if progress is to be made. Resistance to help? Great. This is my jam, it’s my passion.

In a perfect world, we would all be assigned a therapist at birth, just as we are a pediatrician. Mental health is health, after all. Having a therapist to listen, affirm, encourage, and maybe even challenge you is incredibly healing. I don’t believe that clients necessarily ‘need’ therapy, but that they deserve excellent therapy. I have a passion for working with millennials and young adults. My professional experience in wilderness therapy also drives my interest in working with outdoor enthusiasts who have a history of trauma or mental health concerns.

The majority of life can feel crappy, incomplete, and disconnected. You’re doing things you know are sabotaging your mental wellness, and yet cannot figure out how to have the energy and focus to troubleshoot new ways of coping. Who are you? What do you want out of life? What’s your purpose? I’ll bet you’ve also had therapists who loaded your sessions with their own personal issues, too much academic jargon or simply didn’t make you feel heard. In my experiences with clients, therapy has the best outcomes when you are the climber of the treacherous mountain of life, and I am simply a humble mountain guide.

Autism Therapists
What is the most effective treatment for autism?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) has come to be considered the standard treatment for children with autism spectrum disorder, and research has confirmed its effectiveness for many children. Therapists trained in ABA techniques work with children (and their parents) on developing social skills, communication and learning abilities, and everyday habits of hygiene and grooming. The clinician will tailor their program to the child’s particular need but the overarching goal will be to help them advance as far as possible toward independence based on their level of symptoms and decrease the need for additional special services. Families should seek a mental health professional specifically trained in ABA, and holding special certification in the technique, who has extensive experience not only with the approach but in using it with children with the same level of symptoms as the child who needs care.
How does ABA work?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) sessions, which typically focus on positive reinforcement, can be intensive, lasting two or more hours several times a week, and continuing for two years or more. Therapists can also be expected to ask parents to take an active role in reinforcing lessons. Research has found that the technique can lead to major improvements that decrease the need for additional special services.
How does treatment for autism work?
Therapy sessions based on Applied Behavior Analysis will likely be frequent, intensive, and highly structured. After a thorough assessment, a therapist will help a child understand and develop skills in a range of areas, including communication, motor skills, social skills, self-care, play, and academic skills, as well as routines of daily living like hygiene. Typically, the therapist will help a child break down the components of a behavior—often referred to as the antecedent (what prompts an action), the behavior, and the consequence(what immediately follows)—and then reward the child at every step, while also asking parents to reinforce the lessons, and the rewards, throughout the day. This core therapy may be supplemented by occupational or speech therapy, and antidepressants, antipsychotics, and anticonvulsants may be prescribed to address specific severe symptoms.
How long does therapy for autism take?
Some people with autism spectrum disorder may be engaged in some level of therapy for many years, but research shows that treatment will be most effective if it is begun early and delivered intensively. When therapy begins by age 3, children tend to be better able to grasp and adopt the skills needed to manage everyday life, including attending school and establishing social relationships. This type of early-intervention treatment regimen is highly structured, typically involving 20 to 40 hours of one-on-one therapy per week, along with additional hours of engagement managed by parents, for a period of two years or more, although the duration of treatment is dependent on the child’s level of symptoms and pace of progress.
