I specialize in providing neurodiversity-affirming autism evaluations and therapy across the life-span (from toddlers to older adults!).
Why Work With a Neurodiversity-Affirming Autism Specialist for Evaluation?
Autism can be subtle, especially in individuals who mask or camouflage. I look beyond surface behaviors and carefully differentiate autism from trauma and other co-occurring conditions like anxiety, depression, or OCD. A nuanced evaluation prevents misdiagnosis and leads to clear, individualized recommendations.
What about for Therapy?
Traditional therapy does not always work well for autistic individuals. I use a flexible, neurodiversity-affirming approach. We can work on autistic burnout, navigating autistic inertia, trauma, chronic stress, and helping you live the life you want to live.
Autism shapes how a person experiences the world, and it deserves to be understood and supported with depth and care. Whether you are seeking clarity through an evaluation or support through therapy, my goal is to help you feel accurately seen, thoughtfully understood, and practically supported.
