About Me

I have been working with individuals on the Autism Spectrum and other Developmental Differences for over 30 years in educational and clinical settings.  I have developed a body of knowledge and expertise that enables me to work closely with my clients in areas of life that matter greatly.  Although being on the Spectrum poses daunting challenges, being different in a world of "normalcy" takes courage and heroic effort.  I respect this in those I work with and strive to support self-acceptance and growth.

Masters in Social Work - University of Iowa
