Counselor/Therapist, MA LPC, Certified Equine Assisted Therapist, Art Therapist, CSAT/CPTT
Equine therapy assists with motor, emotional and sensory workings that come through spending time with horses. Asperger’s can be difficult to understand – as can the connection with horses – but let’s explore just how beneficial it can be.
Our therapists are trained to support neurodivergent folks as well as those on the Autism spectrum (ASD, Asperger's). We specialize in supporting young adults, college students, and graduate students with ASD.
I have experience working with autistic children, teens, and adults. I conceptualize autism under the neurodiversity umbrella and do not view autism itself as something that needs to be "fixed", but rather understood. I strive to support my autistic clients in feeling empowered in how to best support any sensory or social-related issues they may experience. I also support clients in identifying and supporting any anxious and/or depressive symptoms that may be the result of unidentified autism in a neurotypical dominant world.
Over 10 years of experiences working with individuals with ASD and other intellectual and developmental disabilities. Able to work with non-verbal individuals utilizing expressive therapies specializing in social connection, social reciprocity, and self regulation skills.
