Parenting can be the most rewarding thing you've ever done — and also the most overwhelming. And if your child is struggling, it can feel like you're carrying all of it alone.
Or maybe you're here for yourself. Maybe you've spent years feeling different — masking, overthinking, burning out — and you're starting to wonder if there's a reason. You're not imagining it, and you're not too late.
Wondering if your child or teen might be autistic or have ADHD? Seeking an evaluation for yourself after years of unanswered questions? Looking for a therapist who actually understands neurodivergence? Let's talk.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and BCBA-D with 25+ years of experience — one of the few providers in California holding both credentials. I provide autism and ADHD evaluations for children, teens, and adults, individual therapy using CBT and ACT for teens and adults, and parent consultation grounded in real-world, evidence-based strategies.
You deserve someone who listens — really listens — and who can give you clear, honest answers. Whether you're seeking a diagnosis, support through therapy, or guidance as a parent, I'm here to help you find a path forward. Neurodiversity-affirming. Evidence-based. I offer a free 20-minute consultation so we can see if we're a good fit.
