Empowering Autistic Adults to Unmask and Connect Authentically

Hi, I'm Alex!
I find it incredibly frustrating that society has spent so many years trying to teach autistic people not to be autistic.
The world isn’t really built with autistic people in mind, so many struggle daily just to fit into neurotypical “social standards.”
I can’t change the world, but I promise to do my best to support you in meaningful ways. I’m here to listen, encourage, and guide you as you navigate authentic communication and connection in your life.
I’ll help you set boundaries, choose when to mask or unmask, build confidence, and communicate and connect in ways that feel authentic to you.
Facing a big transition like starting college, settling into a new job, or hoping to grow friendships or relationships? I’m here to support you in navigating a world that isn’t always accommodating of Autism.
Let me hyper-focus on helping you
It's Not Your Fault!
The Double Empathy Theory, proposed by Damian Milton, suggests that communication difficulties between autistic and non-autistic (allistic) individuals are not solely due to a lack of empathy in autistic people.
Instead, it argues that communication breakdowns arise from a reciprocal disconnect in understanding due to differing communication styles, cognitive frameworks, and social expectations.
Essentially, it's a two-way problem where both groups struggle to understand each other's perspectives.

Alex is highly skilled, knowledgeable, and affirming of my identities and challenges with executive function. I also love how she rejects the idea of "teaching" social skills because everyone has their own preferences and style of socializing. It's great to work with someone who has a clinical background who sees the whole person, not just a diagnosis.
As someone who's spent years working with speech therapists and executive function coaches for a TBI and ADHD, I love Alex's approach to her work and highly recommend her!

Alex truly embodies 'embrace your true self' and shows up in an authentic way everytime we meet. Her focus on connection and meaningful relationship-building sets her apart. Alex is great at collaborative problem-solving and values a team approach. She offers flexible supports and accommodates clients based on needs so it's not just a one-size-fits-all approach. Alex helps her clients stay goal-oriented and feel empowered to make progress on them. She's compassionate, encouraging, and down-to-earth.
On a personal note, Alex has made me feel genuinely accepted and understood. It feels like she 'gets me' and she's offered feedback that has been critical in helping me make progress on some of my personal goals.
I highly recommend Alex if you're looking for someone who genuinely cares and accepts you for YOU while encouraging you to achieve your goals!

I highly recommend coaching with Alex to any autistic adult. She’s encouraging, understanding, affirming and will help you achieve your goals. She understands people on a deeper level. I can really be my authentic self around her, which has been so important to embrace as an autistic adult that dosen't fit into the neurotypical or profound autism ‘categories’.
