She currently offers individual, group, and family therapy, assisting clients who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and challenges related to executive functioning.

She also collaborates with other professionals to support holistic care and has led workshops on autism, executive functioning, stress management, and practical coping skills. Her blended expertise in counseling and behavior analysis allows her to support both neurotypical and neurodivergent clients with clarity and compassion. Since 2010, Trish has operated an ABA company that provides therapeutic consultation to adults on the autism spectrum and individuals with developmental disabilities.
