Short company description:
Dr. Liz’s interest in this area started in high school when she did an internship in a classroom for autistic children. She specialized in children and family when earning her PhD in Clinical Psychology, but then worked with just adults after becoming licensed in 2008.
Her interest and re-education around this area renewed when her daughter was diagnosed with ASD Level 1 in 2020. She is autism positive.
