I specialize in comprehensive psychological evaluations across the lifespan, as well as LGBTQ+ affirming care. For the last 15 years, I've been completing comprehensive evaluations for ADHD, autism, learning differences, and complex diagnostic clarification. For therapy, I really enjoy working with LGBTQ folks and those seeking WPATH letters for gender-affirming medical care. I also have other counselors and a speech-language pathologist at my practice. We embrace our multi-disciplinary team to ensure that our patients' needs are met.
Services Offered: - Psychological and psychoeducational evaluations - Autism Evaluations - ADHD evaluations - Diagnostic clarification - WPATH letters for gender-affirming care - Individual counseling - Learning Disability evaluations
We welcome clients of all ages, backgrounds, and identities. Our team works with children, teens, adults, and families who are navigating concerns related to ADHD, autism, learning differences, mental health, communication challenges, identity, and more. We are LGBTQIA+ affirming, neurodiversity affirming, and trauma-informed.
