Autism Therapists in Utah
I love working with neurodiverse clients, both with an official diagnosis and those who are still unsure if they have ADHD, Autism, or are neurospicy in some other way.
As a Registered Play Therapist, I specialize in finding creative ways to help your brain find new patterns. My expertise working with ADHD and Autism helps us avoid techniques or life hacks that simply don't work for our brains. Instead, we'll find momentum by understanding your or your child's uniqueness to stop masking and be more emotionally balanced.

I provide assessment for diagnostic clarification of autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, learning disorders, mood and anxiety disorders, and the impact of trauma.
I work with people and families seeking psychological assessment to better understand how they think, feel, and learn — and to provide clear, compassionate guidance on what can help moving forward. Though assessment can often lead to a specific diagnosis, the broader information gleaned about one's functioning can guide intervention and support personal growth. Over the years, I have found that assessment can be a therapeutic and powerful step in understanding one's self or one’s child. I work from a trauma-informed, neurodivergence-affirming lens and value this collaborative process of discovery.

My areas of expertise include autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, learning disabilities (e.g., dyslexia), intellectual disability, disorders of childhood (e.g., ODD), dementia, and traumatic brain injuries.
I provide comprehensive psychological testing and evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults. My assessments offer an in-depth understanding of each individual’s cognitive and emotional functioning, including intellectual and academic abilities, learning and memory, executive functioning, personality, psychopathology, and neurodiversity. Evaluations can support applications for standardized testing accommodations (such as the ACT) and Gifted and Talented programs. These assessments can also help guide academic interventions, including 504 plans, IEPs, and college accommodations.

Most people come to me because something in their life is not working the way it used to. You might feel stuck, frustrated, anxious, or unsure what comes next. Maybe you are dealing with stress, depression, life transitions, or feeling disconnected from yourself or others. You have a story, and right now it might feel messy or unfinished. Therapy gives you space to slow down, make sense of what you are going through, and start building a direction that actually fits you.

, ADHD or Autism) heal their underlying issues to move past survival, to finally lead authentic, hopeful, connected lives
You're struggling to meet the demands of work (or school). You're lonely. You yearn to connect with others—yet the thought of doing so terrifies you. Your drive to be a perfect partner (employee, or friend) leaves you exhausted, burnt out. But you don't let that show. On the surface you're successful and active. Underneath it all? You're overwhelmed and stressed. You don't feel good enough. You people please and try to do it all. And despite trying to change... you revert back to the same habits of perfectionism, shutting people out, going numb, over working, emotional eating, doom scrolling, etc.
