About

Welcome! I’m Amelia, a clinical psychologist from Kansas City providing assessments for adults seeking clarity around autism. I am licensed in Kansas and Missouri, and PSYPACT authorized to provide virtual care across many states.As an adult considering an autism assessment, you may have spent years masking, second-guessing yourself, or feeling misunderstood by providers or systems that didn’t quite get you.  My goal is to offer a supportive, respectful, neuro‑affirming space where you can share openly and feel genuinely understood. While grounded in evidence-based practices, psychological assessment can be a therapeutic process—one that offers validation, insight, and a clearer understanding of your strengths and challenges.  Whether you’re seeking answers for personal insight, validation, resources, or practical support, I’m here to help you gain clarity and feel more confident on the road ahead.

Education & Licensure
PsyD in Clinical Psychology from Forest Institute of Professional Psychology (FIPP); Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology (FIPP); Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from University of Central Missouri.
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

I’m motivated to support autistic adults because many have gone through life without feeling accurately understood or affirmed. A strengths‑based, validating assessment helps counter that by recognizing their abilities, honoring their lived experience, and providing clarity that is both clinically useful and personally meaningful. Offering this kind of assessment allows individuals to better understand themselves, advocate for their needs, and move forward with greater confidence.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I value being authentic, compassionate, and clear in my work with clients. I create a collaborative space where you bring your lived experience, and I bring my assessment expertise. My approach centers your needs and goals, and together we build on the strengths you already have— even the ones you may not recognize yet.
