As an adult-diagnosed autistic professional, I lead a global team of autistic psychologists, medical doctors and clinicians providing neuro-affirming, research-based autism and ADHD assessments. With nearly 30 years of clinical experience, I’m a naturopathic doctor (ND), a registered psychotherapist (RP), the author of The Ultimate Guide to Autistic Burnout, and a public speaker on neurodiversity. My mission is to make every assessment safe, validating, and empowering, helping clients gain clarity, self-understanding, and lasting self-acceptance so they can live authentically, with confidence and compassion for who they are.
I help adults determine whether autism may contribute to their experiences through comprehensive, neuroaffirming assessments. Each evaluation integrates lived experience with current research. For those just beginning, our website offers free, research-backed psychometric tools to explore traits and begin the journey toward self-understanding.
Reaching out for an assessment can feel like a big step, especially after years of masking or uncertainty. My goal is to make the process comfortable, collaborative, and validating. Whether you’re beginning to explore or ready for a formal assessment, I aim to help you find clarity and confidence in understanding yourself.
