About
I have worked over 15 years with individuals in outpatient and inpatient settings. I am currently in private practice in Franklin, TN where I continue my focus primarily on treating individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (formerly known as Asperger's Syndrome). I guide clients in learning self-regulation skills, self-awareness to become more socially integrated, improve social communication and begin to think and behave in more flexible, less rigid manner. I seek to help individuals with ASD learn more about themselves and appreciate their unique strengths as they tackle their "challenges" with humor and a sense of hopefulness. I provide individual and modified couples therapy for my clients and utilize Behavioral Interventions, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Social Thinking, Perspective-Taking, Mindfulness/DBT skills for Self-Regulation, plus a quirky sense of humor to help facilitate positive change with my clients. Note: I do not accept insurance. I have found that some of my most rewarding work is when individuals begin to better understand their behavior patterns and learn to accept and embrace their differences (neuro-divergence). Once this happens, they can begin to heal from a lifetime of being misunderstood and start to interact with others in a more healthy manner.
