Autism-Affirming Therapy in Texas

Virtual therapy for autistic teens & adults.

Autism Therapy

(Online for Adults & Teens)

If you’re looking for autism therapy in Texas, you’re not limited to providers in your area.

I offer autism-affirming therapy through telehealth for teens and adults across Texas—including those who are formally diagnosed and those who are questioning whether they may be autistic.

Many of my clients come to therapy after years of feeling different, misunderstood, or exhausted from trying to meet expectations that don’t quite fit.

You might be here because:

  • you feel socially or emotionally out of sync with others

  • you’ve learned to “mask” but it’s exhausting

  • you experience sensory overwhelm

  • you need more time to process or respond

  • you’ve always felt different but couldn’t explain why

  • therapy hasn’t worked the way you expected

You don’t have to prove anything to start therapy. You don’t need a diagnosis to be supported.

My approach to autism therapy is neurodivergent-affirming and trauma-informed.

That means:

🧠

We don’t focus on “fixing” you.

You’re supported as you are, rather than being pushed toward a neurotypical standard.

🌱

We honor how your brain works.

We don’t assume neurotypical ways of functioning are the goal.

We move at your pace.

Therapy is flexible and responsive to what feels manageable for you.

🧩

We adapt to what works for you.

Communication and structure are adjusted around your individual needs.

Together, we focus on:

Reducing Overwhelm

  • Reducing burnout and overwhelm
  • Understanding your needs and limits

Identity & Self-Understanding

  • Unmasking safely, if and when you want to
  • Building a life that fits you—not one you have to force yourself into

Support That Fits You

  • Moving at your pace
  • Finding approaches that work with your needs

Areas we work on:

Burnout & Sensory Needs

  • Autistic burnout
  • Sensory overwhelm

Emotional Well-Being

  • Anxiety and shutdown
  • Trauma and invalidation

Identity & Relationships

  • Masking and identity
  • Boundaries and communication
  • Late diagnosis or self-identification

I provide online autism therapy to clients across Texas, including Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, and smaller or rural communities where neurodivergent-affirming care can be harder to find.

Because sessions are conducted through telehealth, you can attend from anywhere in Texas.
