Autism and Asperger's

Registered Psychotherapist, Student RP (Qualifying), RPC-C (Candidate)
One of my favourite metaphors for Autism is that it is like a salad bar. The diversity of experience in the Autistic community is wide and far-ranging, much like a plentiful salad bar filled with various veggies, dressings, and toppings that can be combined into an infinite number of salad options. As such, I aim to hold space for you to share and explore your experience.
Perhaps your experience includes lateral thinking, heightened sensory awareness, sensory overload, a love for the arts or cosplay, meltdowns or shutdowns, special interests, or exceptional abilities. Perhaps you are unfamiliar with many or some of these concepts and are trying to make sense of your experiences or wondering why you keep burning out. Perhaps you have a solid understanding of Autism but are frustrated by other aspects of life, such as anxiety, the need to mask, or the relenting demands of daily life in a world designed for non-autistic brains. Wherever you are, I aim to hold space for you to be seen, heard, and valued. I am here to support you in making sense of and finding ways to work with your Autistic self/brain.
If you'd like to learn more about how I can support you in your journey with Autism, check out my blog post on the R.I.S.E. framework.

At Bright Start Bright Future Counselling Centre, I specialize in providing compassionate support and effective therapy for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and Asperger's syndrome. My approach to autism and Asperger's therapy is highly individualized, focusing on each person's strengths, needs, and goals. I create a safe and supportive environment where individuals can express themselves freely and explore their emotions and experiences without judgment. Using evidence-based practices such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), social skills training, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and sensory integration techniques, I help individuals with autism and Asperger's develop essential life skills, improve social interactions, and manage sensory sensitivities. I work closely with clients, families, and other support professionals to create comprehensive treatment plans that address the unique needs of each individual. My priority is building self-esteem, fostering independence, and promoting positive relationships to help individuals with autism and Asperger's lead fulfilling and meaningful lives. Whether you're seeking support for yourself or a loved one with autism or Asperger's, I'm here to help. Contact me today to learn more about my specialized therapy services and take the first step towards a brighter future.
