Hi there, I'm Alisha, and I have extensive experience working with autistic clients from stages of early identification and diagnosis throughout the life span. I specialize in parent coaching and education to help foster goal achievement related to parenting. I use psychoeducation and evidence-based strategy to navigate ways to best support individual needs. I understand the intersection of autism and mental health and the consequences masking and camouflaging can have on an autistic person's mental health. I use strength-based strategies and tailor cognitive behavioral therapy to meet individual therapy needs. I am a dynamic therapist who works with individuals with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD )and their families.
