Are you having trouble coping with life’s changes or demands? Do you have social developmental challenges? Have you been diagnosed with a social developmental disorder such as autism, Asperger syndrome, attention-deficit (ADHD) or non-verbal learning (NVLD) disorder? Are you feeling isolated from others your age? Do you feel confused when you get together with friends or at work?

Looking for answers and learning new skills are important steps towards positive change. I may be able to work with you to make progress in these very important areas of your life.

I offer diagnostic, therapeutic and consultation services for adults with social developmental challenges.

Diagnostic Services: Individual assessments can highlight strengths and identify weaknesses. Sometimes, a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation is recommended. Other times, only an assessment of social competence is needed. These processes conclude with face-to-face and written summaries of findings and individualized recommendations.

Therapeutic Services: My therapeutic work stems from the evidence-based practices of cognitive behavioral, applied behavioral and Michelle Garcia Winner’s Social Thinking programs. Ongoing therapeutic work may include individual and/or small group sessions to help with social competencies and social skills.

Consultation Services: I offer coaching for recently-diagnosed adults with social developmental disorders and consultations for transitions to independent living.
