Autism therapists in Gilbert, Arizona AZ

Addressing issues on the autism spectrum requires a holistic approach. I help clients address their attention issues from a variety of different angles and determine the best ways to address their problems.  

ABA Therapy, Applied Behavior Analysis for children with Autism  

While there are many effective ways to support families or adult autistics, it is rare that the family as a whole receives care. My approach is directed, practical and designed to help all my clients implement insights and gains attained inside the session into daily life. I draw on years of specialized and intensive training designed to restore connection and repair attachment wounds to increase closeness among all family members. Feel heard and seen and learn to work with your child to gain better clarity and confidence regarding what will work for YOUR family. If you have received a late diagnosis as a result, our work together will focus on your finding meaning and integration with your diagnosis. Autism can be experienced on so many levels--as identity, culture, with pride or also be perceived as a burden on account of misunderstandings, myths and outright discrimination and prejudice. I offer support to families and/or individuals to better understand how to wrestle with what autism means and how to integrate it into your family or personal identity notwithstanding how it might be perceived culturally, medically or otherwise.  

My practice is firmly rooted in neurodiversity affirmation, assisting families and individuals in navigating a neurotypical world. I understand that masking can be exhausting and clients can be themselves in sessions. I will work to help find solutions and strategies that will be less taxing and more rewarding for you and/or your child.  

Having an expertise in development allows me to both assess for Autism and to help with treatment, including coordinating care with other providers and family members.
