More Info About My Practice

Neurodiverse couples face particular and unique issues. I can help you put words to your feelings and support you in your journey, as you learn new ways of effective communication, identify and grieve any losses, and chart a course for the future. I can help you because I understand both the interior life of the autistic partner and of the neurotypical partner. I can help you learn to build new bridges to strengthen your relationship, which relieves anxiety. If you discern during our work that it might be better to go your separate ways, we can work together on creating this new path as well.

My clients and I work online with a video chat platform created specifically for telemedicine. Depending on where you live, we form a counseling (Washington state) or coaching relationship (everywhere else).

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

I work with neurodiverse couples - autistic + neurotypical partners - and individuals in these relationships. I also work with individuals whose intelligence, talent, entrepreneurial skills, creativity, or other achievements and accomplishments set them apart.

How Psychotherapy Can Help

My practice is unusual and highly specialized. I can guide your journey of self-discovery, from which new habits, thought patterns, and choices emerge. Together we can work to help you understand your issues and replace them with behaviors that help you feel better and reach your goals.
