Currently accepting new assessment clients. I specialize in working with adults who are seeking clarity about autism and/or ADHD, particularly those considering a later-in-life diagnosis. Many have spent years feeling depleted by work or social demands without fully understanding why. Some have learned to mask their differences, leaving them feeling misunderstood or exhausted. Others began questioning their own experiences after a child or family member was diagnosed, noticing patterns that felt unexpectedly familiar. If these experiences resonate with you or you are seeking support, an assessment can offer insight and guidance.
I conduct adult autism and ADHD assessments, with a particular commitment to supporting underrepresented populations. The evaluation process is collaborative and structured, integrating your lived experience with careful diagnostic review. I also offer trauma-informed individual psychotherapy and provide gender-affirming surgery evaluation letters.
My practice is guided by a trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming lens grounded in safety, validation, and collaboration. Exploring questions about identity or diagnosis can feel deeply personal and vulnerable. You deserve a compassionate space where you feel understood and respected. If you’re ready to take the next step, I welcome you to reach out.
