My clients are college students and young adults.
Sessions are virtual via video chat or phone.

Schedule a virtual meeting once or twice a week via Zoom. Meetings are billed at $150/hr and include texts, drop in work sessions and office hours!

Receive standard meeting reminders, or request additional reminders following a meeting. Also useful for a quick question. Have a longer or more complicated question? Stop in during the new "office hours"

Suggestions for the transition to college (i.e. setting a meeting with the disability office, requesting accommodations) for those students who are not interested in weekly support. Standard pricing at $150/hr.

Need to get something done but can't seem to start on your own? Join a work session where everyone is working on their own classwork! Included in the price of weekly sessions!

Do you have a question outside of our weekly meetings that can't be answered over text? Stop in and speak with me during these "office hours." Included in the price of the weekly sessions!

I provide presentations on transition support for autistic young adults. Reach out if you would like more information.

We will talk about what time of day you feel is best for you. Schedules change, especially semester to semester, or with seasonal after-school activities. We work collaboratively to find a time which best suits your needs.
