Karen Davaz
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC)
I work with ( parents of children with special needs, ) providing emotional support and practical coping skills that they can share with their family and loved ones. Drawing from both my professional training and my personal experience as a parent of an autistic son, I offer guidance and compassionate support for adults and families navigating Autism and Asperger’s. My approach focuses on understanding each person’s unique strengths, challenges, and communication style. Sessions may include strategies to reduce stress, enhance social connections, and support daily life skills—all within a respectful, strengths-based framework that celebrates neurodiversity.
