My practice focuses on providing high quality comprehensive psychological testing that is impactful and life-enhancing for ages 16+. ADHD and autism presentations in women, BIPOC, and in previously undiagnosed mid-life adults are my specialty. I conduct neurodiversity-affirming and culturally-sensitive evaluations that are used for 1) educational and work accommodations 2) access to disability and vocational supports, and 3) making sense of difficult differential diagnoses to enhance your self-understanding. I also offer psychotherapy to address anxiety and trauma using effective and gentle exposure methods tailored to your needs.

Many people are benefitting greatly by understanding their previously-undiagnosed neurodiversity; however, overlapping symptoms with other mental health problems make diagnostic expertise crucial. I combine my years of experience across varied healthcare settings with up-to-date trainings and consultation in assessment to keep my skills relevant and sharp.

The psychological testing process is a commitment to your self-understanding and can be rather involved. I use a transparent and educational process so you know what we're doing and why. I provide a written report that you (and your medical provider or therapist) can understand and a feedback session to discuss results and offer constructive recommendations.
