For those without significant mental health issues, who are seeking simply to navigate life’s transitions and current stressors or to improve relationships, I offer short term, consultation sessions. In these sessions, we seek to identify current goals and objectives, any barriers to achieving these, and then, together, we develop strategies to remove these barriers which can include improving communication skills, coping with negative automatic thoughts, improvement of time management, and reduction of stress.

I also specialize in the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). I design and complete autism diagnostic evaluations for individuals of all ages. Adults and preschoolers are two age groups for whom obtaining such evaluations can be difficult. With preschoolers (as well as school aged children) the wait time in the state of Connecticut for an evaluation can extend up to a year and beyond. Adults often cannot find a qualified provider to diagnose ASD in individuals from age groups beyond adolescence. I am here to offer this service to families and individuals struggling to find a provider who can complete a timely and quality evaluation for multiple purposes that may include: obtaining in-home applied behavior analysis services, seeking accommodations/modifications in an educational setting, and for self-knowledge. Oftentimes, adults who suspect they have ASD are seeking information to explain why they experience the world the way they do.
