The transition from adolescence to adulthood can bring new expectations, changing relationships, questions about identity, and uncertainty about what comes next. I support autistic and neurodivergent high school teens and young adults as they learn to navigate tough, new, or confusing moments so that life feels a little easier and they can spend more time doing what brings them joy.
Therapy for

Figuring out what comes next
After high school or into adulthood
1
Start with a quick call
We’ll begin with a free consultation call (video or phone) to talk about what brings you to therapy and see whether working together might be a good fit.
Young adults can contact me directly or they can have their parent help with the initial connection.
2
Identify what matters most
During our first few sessions, we’ll talk about what has been hard, what matters most, and what you’d like to be different. Together, we’ll develop goals and a plan that feels relevant, realistic, and meaningful to you.
3
Meet for supportive, practical sessions
Sessions will combine space to talk openly about things and strategies that can be applied in everyday life. Our work will be individualized to your needs, strengths, communication style, and goals.
Sessions are available in-person or through telehealth.
4
Involve parents thoughtfully when appropriate
Parents can be an important source of support, while teens also need privacy and increasing independence. For teens, we’ll discuss together how parents will be involved.
Young adults decide whether and how they would like family members involved.
