• During a guided self-assessment screening we work together using standard autism assessment tools which I have tailored for an adult population.
• A single session provides you with expert knowledge about autism and myself as an experienced, trained guide.
• I can efficiently guide you toward a confident position about your relationship with autism even in just one session.
•  A subsequent session or two would allow us to look at masking as it has applied to your life, as well as discuss how you may want to address masking in the future.
•  Multiple sessions also provide built-in contemplation time in between appointments.
•  We will have more time to discuss your questions and concerns and help adjust to possible self-identification if you choose multiple sessions.

• First session (1.5 hrs)
  USD $175

• Second session, if chosen (1.5 hrs)
  USD $175

• Third session, if chosen (1 hr)

• If you already identify as autistic, we can work together to help you either to adapt to a new diagnosis or identification, or to make improvements to your life no matter how long you have been aware of your autism.

• If desired, family members and loved ones can be part of any session you wish.

• I can help you with any aspect of your life that you would like to improve including career issues, executive functioning challenges, relationship or social issues, reducing stress, or increasing overall self-actualization and daily happiness

• I also hold sessions exclusively with family members and loved ones when appropriate to help them understand the autistic person's experience and thus improve relationships.

• Sessions are one hour each at USD $195--no contracts or minimum number of sessions
