Autism Therapists in McLean, VA
I specialize in providing psychotherapy and neurofeedback services to patients with OCD, Autism, ADHD, Anxiety, TBI, and migraine headaches. The commonality among these problems is that an understanding of brain functioning can inform the direction of the treatment process. I started my career working with young autistic children. I have always had some autistic patients in my caseload. Currently, I work with adults who are on the spectrum as a particular area of interest in my practice.

Problems are like snowflakes -no two are the same. Each person experiences life and the challenges that pop up in a unique way. As your therapist, I will help you explore, gain insight, search for meaning, and understand yourself.

I specialize in working with parents of kids who are highly sensitive, neurodivergent ( autism, ADHD) or presenting challenging behaviors, or who, themselves, identify as neurodivergent.
As a certified NLP Practitioner and HeartBreath Practitioner in-training, I help parents feel calmer, more confident, and more connected to themselves and their children, using a unique combination of conscious parenting techniques, breathwork, and nervous system regulation work. By uncovering and addressing the emotional patterns that are holding you back, we will rewire your brain around healthier beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors, so you can respond instead of react to your child's challenging behaviors. In a short period of time, I will help you parent from a place of peace, feeling in control of your own emotions.

If your child is struggling to focus or learn, psychological testing can help you understand what the problem is and what to do next. I specialize in psychological testing for children, teens, and adults with ADHD, learning disorders (such as dyslexia), autism, and mental health conditions. I will help you understand your child’s unique strengths and challenges and give you a roadmap for the most effective strategies and interventions. I frequently work with children who are gifted and twice-exceptional. I also offer IQ testing that can be used as part of the application process for private schools or advanced academic programs.

Do you find yourself struggling to understand or help with your child or teen's emotions or behaviors? Do you sometimes feel like what you’re doing is not enough? Children and teens are developing at a rapid and different pace than adults are. They have different ways of understanding their own world, expressing and managing emotions, and interacting with others. While at times, guardians may feel stuck, the child or teen may feel the same way, yet struggle to process and understand how they’re feeling. Without proper coping tools, support, and warmth, they may find themselves struggling further. This is where I can help.

My outlook on counseling pulls from mainly three areas. First, I shape how I interact with anybody that walks into the office from a person-centered perspective and treat them with positivity, empathy, and respect. By fostering this genuine relationship during our sessions, I hope that a sense of confidence and self-fulfillment is developed to better help you with the interpersonal relationships that you have outside of the office. I look forward to growing together, pushing each other to become who we are looking to be, and testing the limits of what we thought we could do.

Whether you feel lost and disconnected, frustrated, overwhelmed, angry, scared, or lonely, there are ways to restore your feelings of connection, purpose, confidence, and direction.

You’re allowed to feel enough just as you are. My passion lies with those who feel misunderstood, who mask to fit in, or who feel "normal" is a distant concept. It can feel exhausting navigating a world that feels unnatural, unsafe, uncontrollable, or judgmental, like others don't connect with who you are. It falsifies reality and reinforces irrational, intrusive, uncontrollable, and disruptive beliefs; you convince yourself you are the problem… but you aren’t. Whether an adolescent, neurodivergent, challenged by a life transition, socially awkward/isolated, or struggling to process a big or little trauma, you matter.
