It is common to experience bouts of anxiety, depression, grief, or feelings of helplessness and hopelessness during life. However, these are not issues to suffer through for the rest of your life. My aim is to work collaboratively with you to develop insight into your struggles and nurture innate strengths to help overcome these challenges. I have over ten years of clinical experience treating a variety of psychological difficulties such as addiction, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, ADHD, child/adolescent issues, anger management, relationship issues, and performing psychological and learning disability/ADHD assessments.

Welcome to my page! I provide neurodiversity affirming psychological assessments for those wondering if they may be Autistic later in life. Often times, people have been missed or mis-diagnosed, especially those who are assigned female at birth, or BIPOC. You may have also been missed if you are high masking or have low support needs. The testing I provide takes all of these factors into consideration to give you the most accurate understanding of your identity. Neurotypes (Autism ADHD, PDA) are differences and not disorders and I provide evaluations in a way that honors the whole person.

Are you a man carrying more than you let on? Maybe it’s the pressure to succeed, be strong, or hold it all together—while inside, you’re struggling with anxiety, low self esteem, sadness, anger, or simply feeling lost. Whether you’re a young man trying to find your place, a high-achiever burned out by work and relationships, or a father or partner dealing with emotional shutdown or strain—you’re not alone, and you don’t have to keep doing this silently.

After experiencing a traumatic or stressful event, you may find that you feel different: perhaps you move between feeling overwhelmed by fear, shame, anger, or sadness, to numbing out; maybe your world has gotten smaller as you avoid doing things you used to love; or you may have noticed your thoughts about yourself, the world, and other people start to change such that control, trust, and safety have become difficult themes for you. Additionally, maybe you notice your sleep has worsened, making everything harder. Trauma and stress take a toll on all aspects of your life, but you don't have to battle it alone.
